Advantages of PMP 450 vs PMP 320 (or any 802.16e-based product)
- Throughput – WiMAX can provide a maximum of about 40 Mbps of sector capacity, while PMP 450 has the option for 20 MHz channels, resulting in over 125 Mbps per sector.
- Latency – WiMAX products have latencies that start at 40-60ms and grow as subscribers are loaded onto the sector. PMP 450 remains low and consistent with loading (in the 10-15ms range even under heavy load).
- Modulation Modes – WiMAX supports 64-QAM as its highest modulation, while PMP 450 supports 256-QAM allowing for higher overall capacity.
- Duty Cycle Flexibility – WiMAX only allowed 75% DL maximum while PMP 450 allows customized duty cycle from 15% to 85% downlink by 1% increments.
- Spectral Efficiency – PMP 320 allowed frequency re-use, but required some guard band between adjacent sectors while PMP 450 does not require guard bands.
