Overview
The ProST is an outdoor WiMAX-based customer premises equipment (CPE). The ProST, which
uses Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband interface, connects IP-enabled devices
directly to WiMAX networks. Designed for the residential and small enterprise (SME) markets, the
device supports high-speed broadband Internet through a Fast Ethernet connection.

device supports high-speed broadband Internet through a Fast Ethernet connection.
The ProST ensures high service availability at enhanced ranges, operating in both LOS and
NLOS propagation environments. ProST uses the OFDM signaling format, providing non line-of-
sight (NLOS) performance. ProST utilizes QAM, QPSK, and BPSK modulation technologies by
modulating transmitted signals and demodulating the received signals where the original digital
message can be recovered. The use of adaptive modulation allows ProST to optimize throughput,
yielding higher throughputs while also covering long distances.

ProST models support IP services at speeds of up to 37 Mbit/s over-the-air gross rates over
channel bandwidths of up to 10 MHz in both uplink and downlink. ProST is available in numerous
ETSI frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels, see:

ProST is also available in a multi-mode model (ProST-2) based on the Intel ® Rosedale chipset
which supports both TDD and FDD.

ProST can be deployed with a built-in, integral antenna or alternatively, with an external antenna
to provide better radio coverage. Requiring professional installation, the ProST is installed
outdoors on a pole or wall, enabling optimal positioning for best reception with the BS. Outdoor
mounting of the ProST is made possible due to ProST's built-in lightning surge protection feature
(complying with Surge Immunity standard EN 61000-4-5).

ProST is powered through the SDA-1 Type II (referred henceforth as SDA-1) adapter which
interfaces with the subscriber's LAN. ProST connects to the SDA-1's 100BaseT interface port by
a standard 100-meter CAT-5 cable. The SDA-1 also provides the ProST with 10 to 52 VDC power
supply. However, as an alternative to these adapters, Airspan offers three optional integrated LAN
switches:

• SDA-4S/VL Type II: Provides VLANs between ports and the ProST, ensuring privacy
between LAN users of the different ports. For example, all users connected to Port 1
do not "see" users connected to Port 2. This model is ideal for multi-tenant (VLAN
security) implementation.

All SDA types work in VLAN Pass-through mode. Tagged and Untagged packets are forwarded
transparently by the SDA. The SDA has no VLAN ID configuration per port.

ProST can be managed by Airspan's Web-based management system using standard Web
browsers or alternatively, by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using
standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP
OpenView can also manage the ProST using these MIBs.
