Broadband

Because SOMA solutions support the IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX standard, they enable both fixed and nomadic broadband data services. Unlike earlier standards, Mobile WiMAX gives service providers a solid foundation on which to build their businesses because it:

• Is future-proof and offers a long-term WiMAX roadmap.
• Supports multi-antenna processing, such as STC, AAS and MIMO, for greater wireless performance.
• Provides a path to full mobility.
• Supports portable battery-powered devices.
• Provides better range for viable indoor subscriber unit coverage.

By combining the Mobile WiMAX standard with a fully converged, all-IP architecture, SOMA solutions allow service providers to offer virtually any fixed or nomadic broadband service, increasing their:

• Revenue per subscriber
• Customer retention
• Margins
• Profits

SOMA solutions go far beyond providing standard broadband-to-the-home services. SOMA’s non-line of sight subscriber gateways enable nomadic broadband services that can be used anywhere within the coverage area—with no change in the quality of service. At home, in the office, and anywhere in between, subscribers enjoy wireless freedom with wireline performance.

Both residential and small business customers can easily self-install SOMA solutions, giving them instant access to services—which increases revenue per subscriber—while reducing service providers’ support costs. Urban, rural, and geographically remote areas can all be served equally well with SOMA solutions.
