Utilizing field-proven 4Motion modules and ecosystem elements, BreezeCOMPACT helps maximize the cost-effectiveness of any deployment.

The miniature base station is an all-in-one modem and radio that can be easily and flexibly mounted on rooftops, walls, poles and towers with a single installation point.

"Because of their increasing size and scope, today's networks are becoming multifaceted entities with different technologies meeting different needs in various areas of its operation.
