Two common access service network (ASN) backhauling topologies – centralized and distributed – are currently available to operators looking to deploy a Mobile WiMAX network. While a centralized architecture is the topology of choice under certain Mobile WiMAX deployment scenarios, a distributed architecture is often a viable and effective alternative. Recognizing the advantages of a distributed architecture on the one hand, and the need to optimally utilize such an ASN deployment on the other, Alvarion has developed a fractalized ASN approach. By determining the point of optimal utilization of the distributed network architecture – that is, the optimal ASN-GW-to-BS ratio Alvarion offers operators the economic and performance benefits of the distributed approach in an optimal fashion.

Alvarion’s unique fractalized ASN implementation enables the creation of WiMAX networks which offer the same high level of performance as the fully distributed approach – from localized mobility to better backhauling capacity utilization, but with reduced CAPEX and OPEX.

Offered as part of Alvarion’s comprehensive Mobile WiMAX 4Motion solution, the fractalized distributed approach enables Alvarion to deliver an even more compelling value proposition to operators looking to deploy Mobile WiMAX networks worldwide.
