 Alvarion’s Extensive Access Suite
• Adaptive modulation
• 8 modulation levels
• Smoothly sliding between the rates according to the
link condition, facilitating link robustness
• Customer’s rate is automatically set at the highest
possible rate
• Robustness

• Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)

• AU is Automatically measuring and adjusting the SU’s
transmit power
• Enables easy, effortless installation
• Optimizes the cell’s transmission & allows for better
network deployment and interference control
5
 Alvarion’s Extensive Access Suite
• Extended service Offering

• Bridging functionality

• 802.1Q VLAN support

• Transparent bridging of tagged/untagged packets
• Tagging outgoing packets (towards uplink), un-tagging
incoming packets(downlink, from SU to LAN)
• Allows for VLAN sharing between enterprise and SOHO
users

• QoS and SLA enforcement

• QoS and prioritization according to ToS and 802.1p
• …
6
 QoS and SLA enforcement
• Dedicated BW per user over the shared media
• CIR – Committed information rate
• MIR – Maximum information Rate based on “Best
Effort” functionality
• Allows for pricing differentiation – sell various SLA
according to customer needs
• Maintains Quality of Service per subscriber
• Unused BW is offered to other users on a “best effort”
basis
• Configurable uplink and downlink values
• Over subscription (Total configured BW > Total
available BW) takes into account that not all users
utilize the entire BW all the time.
• Graceful degradation in case of congested sector
7
 Alvarion’s Extensive Access Suite
• Enhanced Security
• Authentication
• WEP 128 or AES encryption
• Different key per subscriber
• Access Control
• Better security
• IP Address based filtering (specific or range)
• Protocol based filtering
• MAC based filtering
• Better control over the access
• Limiting the no. of authorized IP addresses can create
additional source of revenues
• Preventing local broadcasts from flooding the air
• Ethernet Broadcast/Multicast Filtering
8
 Alvarion’s Extensive Access Suite
• Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
• Upon the discovery of RADAR transmission, the AU and
the SUs are hopping to a RADAR free channel

• Best AU
• SU is scanning the entire frequency band, identifying all
available AUs
• Optimizes the link by choosing the best AU
• Redundancy mechanism
• In case of sync loss, the SU can automatically re-
synchronize with the next AU on the list
