Our Libra MAX product family, built on a high performance flexible architecture, meets the need for intelligent integrated access, backhaul and many other network operations in a single chassis. A dual-mode sector card capability in the Libra MAX base stations allows carriers to deploy public WiMAX consumer networks as well as high performance, secure W-OFDM networks for security conscious enterprise and commercial customers. Libra Max Base Station Equipment MAXimum Scalability Operating in the 3.3 to 3.6 GHz spectrum, the carrier class Libra MAX base station is available in three form factors. All Libra MAX base station configurations share a common CompactPCI platform making the Libra MAX highly modular. A card-based architecture lets service providers optimize for network density and functional requirements. Libra MAX Cards fit all base station form factors reducing equipment and sparing costs, and improving your ability to meet SLAs. Libra MAX/2 Base Station The MAX/2 base station is an ideal solution for service providers who require a cost effective and high performance entry-level base station in low-density rural areas. The micro base station takes 1U of space in a 19 rack, supports two hot swappable sectors and is available as an AC or DC chassis. The base station can be backhauled over a 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet link through the Carrier backbone or over a wireless link using an integrated high performance backhaul card. Libra MAX/8 Base Station The MAX/8 base station is a carrier grade solution that offers service providers the performance and capacity required for robust suburban and urban high-density deployments. The MAX/8 macro base station has a high capacity compact 4U chassis that fits into a 19 rack. It supports up to six hot swappable sectors with redundancy. The MAX/8 base station is ideal for multi-sector point-to-multipoint environments requiring denser coverage and increased capacity. This configuration is ideal for collocated point-to-point and point-tomultipoint solutions. Libra MAX/16 Base Station The MAX/16 base station is the ultimate in capacity, flexibility and reliability for urban high-density applications. Support for six fully redundant sectors and integrated backhaul in this vertical chassis makes this the perfect solution for commercial grade mission-critical networks. Due to its expansion room, the MAX/16 base station is also ideal for offering triple play highbandwidth services including voice, video and data.

3 Libra MAX WiMAX and More The Libra MAX platform marks the convergence of two powerful industry-transforming technologies that revolutionize broadband wireless access. No other platform fuses field proven Turbo W-OFDM technology with industry standard WiMAX in a modular architecture that enables you to build robust and high performance wireless networks. WiMAX Performance With a full feature set, Libra MAX offers WiMAX performance that enables triple play services: voice, video and data. Proven OFDM Technology Currently in its 4th generation, our technology has been deployed in many profitable networks worldwide. Dual-Mode Operation The only broadband wireless platform to support both WiMAX and Turbo W- OFDM operation in the same network enabling the Libra MAX to be deployed for both open public WiMAX networks and high performance and secure Turbo W-OFDM private enterprise networks. Future-Proof Platform Support for current and future sector cards through industry standard cpci architecture ensures that Libra MAX is the only base station you will ever need. Highest Throughput Available Libra MAX features channel sizes of 3.5 MHz and 7 MHz in a single card which cuts deployment costs compared to other solutions that require multiple line cards. In addition, full duplex backhaul enables unrivaled backhaul performance. Exceptional Point-to-Multipoint Performance No one has better point-to-multipoint performance especially as more subscriber stations are added. In addition, a single chassis can support simultaneous point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes. Flexible Card Architecture Common system architecture allows the same card technology to be deployed in different base station chassis; enabling a common feature set across the entire product line. Spares holdings are minimized since all chassis support the same card technology. Intelligent Link Management Maintains the best possible connection between the base station and subscriber station using adaptive modulation and auto-adjusting power output. Quality of Service (QoS) Features Ability to differentiate voice and data services using CIR, IPTOS, VLAN, IP Flitering, MAC Filtering, service flows, configurable classification, and WiMAX scheduling services (BE, rtps, nrtps, and UGS). Auto-Provisioning Enables ease of installation and support for plug and play nomadic subscriber stations. As a Principal Member of the WiMAX Forum, EION Wireless is committed to providing standardized, interoperable Broadband Wireless products based on the standards.

4 High Performance Flexible Architecture The Libra MAX Indoor/Outdoor Units The Libra MAX is designed with a high performance flexible architecture that distributes processing power and network functions between the Indoor Unit and Outdoor Unit. Sector cards function as the network processing digital engines, independent of the access technology and frequency band. Distribution of processing power means flexibility for high performance, intelligent applications and future-proof capacity for new applications. Libra MAX Outdoor Units handle media access functions providing modularity and easy upgrades for future access technologies. Digital processing in the indoor units also allows for longer cable drops and increased system gain. WiMAX Sector Card (MAX-16) The WiMAX Sector Card implements IEEE technology to deliver industry standard WiMAX interoperability. With its robust point-to-multipoint capabilities, the WiMAX Sector Card enables service providers to tap into the lucrative residential, SOHO and mobility access subscriber markets. The WiMAX Sector Card allows you to deploy industry standard WiMAX subscriber units in open standard consumer networks. Turbo W-OFDM Sector Card (MAX-Turbo) The Turbo W-OFDM Sector Card utilizes a proprietary Turbo W-OFDM technology to deliver exceptional point-to-multipoint performance at an affordable price. With advanced features like built in advanced security, QoS, Intelligent Link Management, 3.5/7 MHz channel sizes, FDD and full duplex operation, the Turbo W-OFDM Sector Card has been providing superior performance and is the ideal solution for service providers looking to deliver highly secure and high-performance wireless networks.

6 Enterprise MDU/MTU Making use of Libra MAX, service providers can increase their ARPU by offering more services to more subscribers without increasing their infrastructure costs. In fact, the Libra MAX MTU/ MDU solution works with traditional wireline infrastructure and makes use of the advanced networking features in NetMOS to provide layer-2 customer separation. With Libra MAX, service providers can extend their physical reach--adding more MDU/MTU organizations- -as well as reduce costs and increase their overall subscriber base. Urban Hotzones EION s hotzone solution raises the bar for reliability, speed and coverage. Using the global wireless standard IEEE or WiFi, along with WiMAX backhaul products EION based hotzones enable your customers to simultaneously connect to the internet or their corporate networks at broadband speeds in virtually any public place, without the constraints of wires or cables. EION s field-proven fixed wireless products provide a cost effective backhaul by eliminating the need for expensive fibre. Backhaul Many service providers overlook a vital part of their network: backhaul. Once customer traffic reaches the remote office or cell site, this data needs to be reliably transported back to switches and internet gateways. Wireless backhaul is a low-cost way to connect cell towers to mobile telephone switching offices (MTSOs). With WiMAX, Libra MAX provides throughput at several times that which can be delivered by conventional hard-wired networks--making Libra MAX an extremely cost-effective backhaul alternative.
