The VistaMAX® OBR1900 is a self-contained all outdoor base station
which comes configured with an external antenna connector to allow for
various antenna configurations. Connection to the outdoor unit requires
only a single Ethernet cable for power and data. All MAC, baseband
modulation and radio functionality is integrated into the single
outdoor OBR1900 unit.
The VistaMAX 1.9 GHz system requires an additional indoor WES800
Ethernet Switch to provide power to sectors using the units and serve
as the network connection point. The WES800 Ethernet Switch supports up
to eight OBR1900 or OSR1900 elements. Connections to the backbone
network and between outdoor elements are made through the integrated
Ethernet switch in the WES800. An RJ-45 10/100/1000 Ethernet uplink
port is included in the WES800 and an optional SFP module for
10/100/1000BaseT copper or 1000BaseX fiber connections can be purchased.
The base station configuration is flexible enough to allow for high
density urban deployments, point-point backhaul and low density rural
rollouts. Point-point backhaul can be used to connect the cell with
other cells, main backbone interconnection points or create multiple
point-point links to high data rate subscribers. Point-point backhaul
links can be established using two OBR1900s or one OBR1900 plus one
OSR1900 depending on data rate and distance requirements.
OBR1900
1.9 GHz Base Station Transceiver
The VistaMAX OBR1900 is a WiMAX/IEEE 802.16-2004 outdoor base station. The
OBR3500 is contained in a weatherproof, sealed housing for use with an external
antenna to offer a solution for WiMAX applications in the 1785 to 2025 MHz band.
External antennas are accommodated with an N female connector. The OBR1900
offers a direct bridged 100BaseT Ethernet connection to the base station
network. The only equipment inside the base station premises is an Ethernet
switch with Power over Ethernet capability (Vecima Networks WES800) to supply
power and provide Ethernet connectivity to the OBR1900.
