Fujitsu fixed WiMAX SoC and their systems with a variety of
applications at the Broadband Wireless World 2006, April 27 to 28,
in Las Vegas.
At booth #305, Fujitsu will exhibit its WiMAX reference design,
which serves as an enabling platform for developing both base
stations and subscriber stations. Five of Fujitsu’s customers will
also exhibit their WiMAX systems at the Fujitsu booth. Their
applications, all of which incorporate the Fujitsu MB87M3400 WiMAX
SoC, include enterprise and residential modem terminals, mesh
networks and point-to-multipoint access products. Specifically:
-
Air Broadband will demonstrate its base
station and subscriber station, PiMAX™, for metropolitan
broadband wireless networks based on the IP MCSQ architecture.
-
Aperto Networks will showcase its
PacketMAX™ 5000 base station.
-
Hopling Technologies will exhibit its subscriber station, HopMAX™ 1600.
Hopling has selected the Fujitsu WiMAX SoC as the standard
silicon for its next-generation HopMAX™ product portfolio of
base-station systems, micro-base stations and high-end
subscriber stations.
-
MiTAC will showcase its subscriber
station using the Fujitsu WiMAX SoC, and
-
Orza Networks will feature its CPE that
is optimized for, and is an integral component of, Orza's
