Cable AML Starts Deploying WiMAX Repeaters
![]() |
| WiMAX Outdoor Repeater. |
Cable AML has initiated deployment of the Model OAR3.5 WiMAX repeater family in a commercial WiMAX network operating in Europe.
Cable AML’s Repeater is a two-way radio transceiver system designed to provide coverage of “dark” zones not served by WiMAX base stations. The repeater is a very cost-effective way to bypass direct line-of-sight obstacles between a base station and remote terminals or to extend coverage beyond the Base Station area.
The repeater configuration just deployed has been designed for operation in the FDD mode (Standard 802.16d) and operates in the 3.5 GHz band. It consists of two outdoor transceivers, each connected to its antenna by a short cable run and fed from local DC power.
Typical applications include bypassing large obstacles such as mountains, improving in-building coverage and extending the BS footprint to cover users outside the main BS coverage.
