Airspan 6-series integrates with Federated
Wireless AFC to bring game-changing range, speed, capacity and
automation to shared spectrum Wi-Fi 6E deployments
Airspan Networks Inc., a subsidiary of Airspan Networks Holdings
Inc. (NYSE American: MIMO), a U.S.-based provider of
ground-breaking, disruptive software and hardware for mobile and
fixed wireless network operators, has today announced its selection
of Federated Wireless, private wireless and shared spectrum leader,
as Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) service provider for
Airspan’s new Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) 6-series line of
products: A6, C6x and B6x.
AFC forms a critical component of the new Wi-Fi 6E ecosystem,
particularly for the outdoor, standard-power access point segment
that Airspan’s 6-series addresses. AFC shields incumbent 6 GHz
operations from RF interference by checking a database of
registered users to ensure that new wireless devices do not impact
existing users. By using the AFC service, Wi-Fi 6E access points
are permitted to transmit high power levels, referred to as
“standard power,” thereby covering more area and affording FWA
network providers greater performance and efficiency.
Airspan will test and fully integrate Federated Wireless’ AFC
into the Airspan 6 series product line. This will enable a fully
automated and zero-touch process to deploy these new, higher power
radios in the Wi-Fi 6E spectrum, simplifying the deployment process
for network providers. The new Airspan 6-series line of products
together with AFC change the game for the FWA market. 6 Gbps
aggregated speeds, interference cancelation with noise immunity,
auto channel/auto power/rate adaptation and GPS Auto Synch to
support adjacent and overlapping channels are a few of the
best-in-class features that combine to realize the A6, C6x, and B6x
mission of providing cost-effective “wireless-fiber” solutions.
“Our relationship with Federated Wireless has advanced CBRS SAS
service innovation,” said Henrik Smith-Petersen, chief sales &
marketing officer at Airspan. “The Federated Wireless AFC service
is best-of-breed in the market; for us it was a natural step to
partner with them again. Our new 6-series product line is fully
integrated with Federated Wireless’ AFC which further simplifies
and accelerates deployment of FWA services in the new Wi-Fi 6E
spectrum.”
Federated Wireless has been conditionally approved as an AFC
system operator by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Their history of providing a leading Spectrum Access System
(SAS) for CBRS mid-band clients enabled this natural extension into
6 GHz spectrum management.
“The AFC service ecosystem and marketplace is expanding at a
rapid pace, and we are thrilled to be at the nexus of that
evolution with market leaders like Airspan,” said Chris Swan, chief
commercial officer for Federated Wireless. “The integration of our
AFC with Airspan’s 6-series offers fast and easy deployment of high
power, high-performance wireless systems from pioneers and leaders
in the wireless industry.”
