Distributed Network Architecture - Alvarion's Fractalized ASN Approach: A Practical Implementation of Distributed Network Architecture

One of the key questions operators must address prior to setting up a Mobile WiMAX network is whether to deploy centralized or distributed network architecture. While a centralized topology is far more prevalent than its counterpart, the distributed approach is an up-and-coming alternative deserving serious consideration. As a world leader in WiMAX, Alvarion works closely with operators to help them fully understand their network topology and determine the architecture most suitable to their needs. This paper presents the advantages of the distributed approach; while these advantages lead to clear business and performance benefits, it also present Alvarion's unique practical, fractalized approach for implementing a distributed architecture so that operators can fully maximize their Mobile WiMAX investment.
