- Based on IEEE 802.16-2005 and fully compliant to Wave 2 certification, including MIMO A and B and beamforming
- Fully self installing over the air or Web interface
- Supports TR-069 and OMA-DM
- Two internal antennas for receive, one for transmit (9-12 dBi)
The Gigaset SE680 WiMAX is an outdoor modem designed to bridge longer distances in rural environments or to connect several smaller businesses to basic wireless broadband access. It is part of the new Gigaset 802.16-2005 portfolio, which includes a basic modem, a VoIP modem and two feature-rich gateways as well as an Express Card.
The Siemens Gigaset SE680 WiMAX is based on IEEE 802.16-2005 and Wave 2 compliant to provide optimal capacity, throughput and coverage. The modem combines two integrated high gain antennas which support MIMO (Matrix A and B) and adaptive beamforming to boost signal strength between the base station and WiMAX devices. It also employs Space-Time-Coding (STC) and Spatial Multiplexing (SM) to improve coverage and effectively double the data throughput. In very demanding environments, the outdoor modem can connect to an external antenna. This usage scenario offers a gain of up to 18 dBi.
With a throughput of up to 20 Mbps, subscribers will benefit from high-speed access. The Gigaset SE680 WiMAX will be available in the summer of 2008 supporting the 2.5 and 3.5 GHz frequency bands.
Remote device management is key to successful WiMAX deployments. Siemens’ approach eliminates costly truck rolls or prolonged technical support for the service provider. And through secure remote provisioning, authentication, configuration and management, the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX ensures a positive user experience. With the field proven Gigaset Software Suite, Siemens offers a powerful set of remote device management tools based on TR-069. Of course, all Siemens Gigaset WiMAX devices based on 802.16-2005 support both the TR-069 and the OMA-DM protocols specified by the WiMAX Forum.
All WiMAX CPEs are developed and manufactured in Germany under the most stringent quality and environmental standards.
