KEY BENEFITS OF THE AB-ACCESS SOLUTION

AB-Access has been designed with the needs of today and tomorrow's service operators foremost in mind. Networks must be easy, fast and cost-efficient to deploy, as well as maximizing the use of bandwidth, a limited resource.

Adaptive Bandwidth Management to Maximize Bandwidth Use
No aspect of the AB-Access bandwidth is committed, which allows dynamic allocation of resources to serve only subscribers with data to transmit:

• Bandwidth is assigned at the granularity of a cell, rather than in larger 'chunks' which are not used for 100% of the time
• Asymmetric traffic is supported by the time-division duplexing system, avoiding fixed upstream and downstream channels which are unused for some of the time

Advanced Subscriber Management
The AB-Access wireless infrastructure enables a network to be deployed quickly, easily and cost effectively:

• New subscribers can be brought on-line immediately, by installation of a single integrated unit

Economically and Operationally Efficient

• Initial infrastructure cost is low, and the network can be incrementally deployed as subscriber numbers grow
