With Makamin’s project management professional services, customers can be confident that the projects will be led and controlled to achieve best quality and fastest completion path.

Proprietary Wireless Access/Backhaul Solutions
Providing high capacity, low cost, long range, packet based, and efficient backhauling solutions has become critical for enabling and driving the expansion of IP-based broadband access. As the majority of telecommunication technologies are all emerging to be IP-based; it has become critical to have backhauling solutions with built-in Ethernet-based interfaces to provide direct integration with IP-over-Ethernet access technologies which represent the vast majority of current broadband access solutions. In addition, the accelerating demand for data services compared to the voice services has made the need for packet-based statistical multiplexing over the backhauling solutions very necessary to ensure efficient utilization of the deployed resources and capacities.

Makamin carries two non-overlapping product lines for wireless backhauling where each product line is best suited for a specific industry vertical. Providing high capacity, low cost, long range, packet based, and efficient backhauling solutions has become critical for enabling and driving the expansion of IP-based broadband access. As the majority of telecommunication technologies are all emerging to be IP-based; it has become critical to have backhauling solutions with built-in Ethernet-based interfaces to provide direct integration with IP-over-Ethernet access technologies which represent the vast majority of current broadband access solutions. In addition, the accelerating demand for data services compared to the voice services has made the need for packet-based statistical multiplexing over the backhauling solutions very necessary to ensure efficient utilization of the deployed resources and capacities.

The first product line is the Packet-Based Point-to-Multipoint Microwave Cellular Solution from Cambridge Broadband & Spectrum Communication. It operates in the licensed bands of 3.5 GHz, 10.5 GHz, & 26 GHz & is the perfect solution for backhauling 2G, 3G, & WiMAX base stations due to its capability for carrying both TDM-based traffic and packet-based traffic at the same time with built-in highly effective compression for the voice (TDM) traffic.

Wireless backhaul based on Microwave technologies have proven to be a reliable and cost effective alternative to wire line counterparts (copper and fiber), offering the required capacity and range with minimal associated civil works and permits.

Key Features

• Fully redundant Base Station (1+1) and CPEs (1+1)

• Integrated optimization for TDM (E1), 2G (Abis) & 3G (Iub) services.

• Full QoS support for IP, E1 & TDM services (including very low latency for delay sensitive applications)

• Multi-Frequency Platform (3.5 GHz, 10.5 GHz, 18, 26 & 32 GHz)

• Fully symmetric radio links (power, modulation & bandwidth)

• Class leading spectral efficiency (up to 4.0 b/s/Hz net)
  

The second product line is the Packet-Based Point-to-Multipoint Pre-WiMAX Solution from Redline Communications. This product line operates in the licensed band 3.5 GHz & unlicensed bands of 5.4 GHz. Thos product line is the perfect solution for backhauling small to medium enterprise customers, site offices, and institutions with offices scattered over large and underserved areas.

The RedMAX, WiMAX product line received the Fixed WiMAX certification from the WiMAX Forum in January 2006 which was the first WiMAX certification in the history of WiMAX industry. Thus, there can be no WiMAX references by any company in the world before that date. However, there can be Pre-WiMAX references, and this is where Makamin has one of the richest Pre-WiMAX experience and references in the Middle East and North Africa.

IP-based GSM Picocell Solution
The concept of “Pico-cell” solution is well defined in the 3GPP association and well known in the mobile industry. The “Pico-Cell” provides GSM operators a simple solution for enhancing capacity and coverage levels in hotspot “indoor” areas with minimal interference on the micro/macro “outdoor” coverage.

By providing a pico-cell with IP connectivity, mobile operators can immediately provide hotspot coverage and capacity where required with minimum cost and time. The direct cost savings come from backhaul savings since a pico-cell based on IP backhaul can utilize spare capacity in existing broadband connections. In addition, the size of such a solution prevents the deployment team from going through the time consuming process of permitting and installation thus enabling mobile operators to provide coverage on time.

This solution is expected to make an appeal for mobile operators (especially startups) in countries where broadband penetration is moderate.
 
ip.access has a strong reference which includes operators like: T-Mobile USA, Smart in the Philippines, Telfort (now KPN) in the Netherlands and Eurotel in the Czech Republic.

Key Features

• Rapid installation using existing IP infrastructure

• Standard radio interface compatible with all GSM handsets

• Multi-TRX capability to support large numbers of users

• Typical indoor coverage up to 125,000m2

• Excellent data rates with GPRS support

• Single10/100 Ethernet connection incorporating power, traffic and signaling

• Smallest footprint in the industry

IP based PBX System
Unlike the well-known TDM based classic PBX systems, IP Based PBX provides VoIP platform as a standard to the users. All of the users connected to the system can communicate with each other and their office free of charge while they are outside of the office via using IP media. It's features include many functions that does not exist in many advanced switchboards or that can be owned with additional costs.

Besides the standard PBX features, the IP PBX provides an advanced reporting system, auto attendant, voice recording, tele-conference and Mail server within the system. The structure of the system enabling direct connection to the UMTH operators increases the value added characteristic of VoIP in your office thanks to private and general calling scheme.
