The Siemens Gigaset SX682 WiMAX is part of the new Gigaset 802.16-2005 portfolio, which initially includes a basic modem, a VoIP modem and two feature-rich gateways. It is a VoIP modem that targets residential and home office users who want to combine broadband access with making calls with their traditional analog phone via IP.

The Siemens Gigaset SX682 WiMAX is based on IEEE 802.16-2005 and Wave 2 compliant to provide optimal capacity, throughput and coverage. The VoIP modem combines two integrated high gain antennas which support MIMO (Matrix A and B) and adaptive beamforming to boost signal strength between the base station and WiMAX devices. It also employs Space-Time-Coding (STC) and Spatial Multiplexing (SM) to improve coverage and effectively double the data throughput. In demanding environments, all indoor CPEs can connect to an external outdoor antenna. Siemens offers outdoor antennas with a gain of up to 18 dBi.

Remote device management is key to successful WiMAX deployments. Siemens’ approach eliminates costly truck rolls or prolonged technical support for the service provider. And through secure remote provisioning, authentication, configuration and management, the Siemens Gigaset SX682 WiMAX ensures a positive user experience. With the field proven Gigaset Software Suite, Siemens offers a powerful set of remote device management tools based on TR-069. Of course, all Siemens Gigaset WiMAX devices based on 802.16-2005 support both the TR-069 and the OMA-DM protocols specified by the WiMAX Forum.

With a throughput of up to 20 Mbps, subscribers will benefit from high-speed access.
