Pronto's WiMAX Solutions
The UniFi WiMAX OSS is a carrier class service management solution designed for WiMAX markets. It is a complete service fulfillment and billing solution suite developed to fulfill the requirements of the WiMAX service providers. The solution is primarily targeted at the independent greenfield operators and MVNO type of operators that desire to start with a small WiMAX footprint, while maintaining the scalability needed for large service providers.

The UniFi WiMAX OSS fulfills the unique requirements of WiMAX markets where WiMAX technology is used mostly as a backhaul service for fixed/nomadic locations initially. It is also designed to support mobile WiMAX networks with 802.16e CPE devices.

For coverage-centric WiMAX deployments, applicable to networks where operators are focused on expanding the reach of broadband wireless to under served areas, the UniFi OSS supports turnkey subscriber management, service control of the access network, and a comprehensive billing and service management platform.

For capacity-centric deployments, where operators require choice of service offerings, and operational efficiencies to increase the speed of deployment, the UniFi OSS provides solutions to create custom service offerings and modules to enable customers to perform provisioning and service registration tasks with minimal operator support.

WiMax target applications include:

  1. Leased Line Replacement, where WiMAX is used for backhaul for broadband wireless LANs, such as enterprises, WiFi hotspots, and mesh networks
  2. Mobile WiMAX, where mobile users with 802.16e CPE devices access the network

Pronto Networks offers WiMAX Solutions to cater to all aspects related to service creation, management and delivery in WiMAX networks. Pronto's UniFi OSS software is a carrier-class Operations Support System designed for large-scale WiMAX networks. The Pronto UniFi WiMax OSS enables rapid, cost-effective wireless broadband deployment with lower ongoing operational costs.

The UniFi OSS product suite provides a tightly integrated platform that enables self provisioning of edge devices like WiMAX CPEs and subscriber stations in a WiMAX network, real-time user and device authentication, subscriber management, billing mediation, customer care, roaming settlement and network management, all in a single platform for optimal efficiency.

UniFi OSS provides support for fixed, nomadic as well as Mobile WiMAX usage models.

The architecture of UniFi OSS allows for unbundling of access infrastructure from the IP connectivity services, which are essentially taken care of by the UniFi OSS as a WiMAX CSN. The architecture also supports multivendor interoperability. This is possible by supporting WiMAX network elements from different vendors as long as the exposed interfaces comply with the procedures and protocols applicable for the relevant reference point.
