With the FlexWave™ WMX 5000, ADC delivers the industry’s highest density, highest capacity, and
highest performing base station. Designed for modular growth and service evolution, the FlexWave
WMX 5000 sets a new standard for carrier-grade WiMAX base stations.
FlexWave WMX 5000 operates in licensed and license-exempt bands under virtually all wireless
conditions, giving providers a versatile platform for maximizing WiMAX revenue opportunities.
The FlexWave WMX 5000 hardware is based on the ATCA open standard, incorporating
the latest advances in reliability, availability, and serviceability for carrier-grade, high-speed
telecommunications. Designed to accommodate up to 12 wireless sectors, the FlexWave
WMX 5000 system requires just 5U of rack space — making it the highest density base station
currently available. This versatile, space-saving solution allows operators to offer a broad range
of voice, data, and multimedia services, while driving down the operational and capital outlays
required to scale the network.
Features:
• Highest capacity; highest density WiMAX base station
• Modular design supporting pay-as-you-grow business model
• Seamless co-location with mini and micro base stations for expanded network coverage
• Comprehensive system redundancy for carrier-grade resilience
• Upgradeable to IEEE 802.16e based mobility

FlexWave™ WMX 5000
Carrier-Grade WiMAX Base Station
The FlexWave WMX 5000 modular design accommodates a large number of deployment options. With
1:1 or 1:N redundant wireless sectors, the FlexWave WMX 5000 can support: 12-sector base station,
redundant 6-sector base stations, redundant four sector and other configurations within a single chassis.
The FlexWave WMX 5000 meets stringent operator deployment needs, while bridging gaps from
pre-WiMAX to fixed WiMAX, indoor consumer WiMAX, and fully mobile WiMAX.
Typical Applications
• Last mile, carrier deployments supporting
small initial roll outs, growing to support
thousands of subscribers in a single
5U platform
• Converged fixed-mobile service offering
including multi-user, multi-application,
and multi-service simultaneously
• Scalable VoIP service with per-subscriber
QoS and dynamic link adjustment
• Fixed, nomadic, and portable WiMAX
services evolving to support full mobility
• Bandwidth-hungry video and data
applications requiring low latency
and predictable performance
• Licensed or unlicensed WiMAX backhaul
for municipal (mesh) network or cellular
network remote site traffic
