RedMAX Advantages Redline's WiMAX products deliver the performance required to operate a full scale WiMAX network in any environment. Using TDD (Time Division Duplexing) A transmission method that uses only one channel for transmitting and receiving, separating them by different time slots. No guard band is used. Contrast with FDD. See also TDD/TTY. TDD - Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (time division duplexing Time division duplex Time division duplex (TDD) is the application of time-division multiplexing to separate outward and return signals. It emulates full duplex communication over a half duplex communication link. ), RedMAX ensures a high degree of spectral efficiency Spectral efficiency or spectrum efficiency refers to the amount of information that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific digital communication system. even in dense urban environments. Its advanced OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) A digital transmission technique that uses a large number of carriers spaced apart at slightly different frequencies. technology enables RedMAX to overcome the many line-of-sight barriers in urban areas including buildings, trees and other obstructions. With the Quality of Service controls of the RedMAX system, operators can offer various service level agreements to their customers, enabling them to tailor their services to meet their customers' needs. Redline's RedMAX[TM] Family Redline's RedMAX family of WiMAX solutions is the world's first complete system to receive the WiMAX Forum Certified[TM] mark for conformance to the WiMAX standards for performance and interoperability. Redline's carrier-class RedMAX Base Station (AN-100U) supports voice, video, and prioritized data traffic, enabling long-range, high-capacity wireless broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data. What is "high" speed is always a changing number. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wireline networks. In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1 networks. Redline's WiMAX products also include the RedMAX Indoor Subscriber Unit A Subscriber Unit, or SU is a broadband radio that is installed at a business or residential location to connect to an Access Point to send/receive high speed data wired or wirelessly. Devices commonly referred to as a Subscriber Unit include cable modems, mobile phones, etc. (SU-I) and Outdoor Subscriber Unit (SU-O) designed for enterprise and residential services. The RedMAX Management Suite enables operators to monitor and control the network, ensuring high service availability. Redline is maintaining its WiMAX leadership with the expansion of its RedMAX family to include products for additional frequency bands, applications and standards.
