    Chapter 1 - Product Description Introducing BreezeMAX PRO CPE The BreezeMAX PRO CPE is a new Subscriber Unit (SU) that is added to the BreezeMAX family. The BreezeMAX PRO CPE is powered by Intel’s ProWireless 5116 WiMAX chip. The new BreezeMAX PRO CPE has the same advanced features and functionality as the existing BreezeMAX CPEs.
  • Page 19 Introducing BreezeMAX PRO CPE There are two types of SU-IDUs: The BMAX-CPE-IDU-1D is the basic IDU, functioning as a simple interface unit with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port that connects to the user’s equipment. The IDU-NG-4D1W Wireless Networking Gateway IDU provides advanced routing capabilities and can also serve as a Wireless LAN Access Point.
