Begins testing conformance and interoperability of devices
By P. J. Connolly
January 15, 2008 —
Mobile WiMAX took a step closer to being reality with the announcement that formal certification testing of devices had begun, with an estimated 300 operators in more than 65 countries currently engaged in Mobile WiMAX pilots and trials.
The lead certification lab, at AT4 Wireless in Spain, began accepting products using the 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz bands last month, according to the WiMAX Forum, which expects certified Mobile WiMAX products to reach the market later this year. Other certification labs in the United States, China, India, Korea and Taiwan are expected to come online this year to share the burden of validating product conformance and interoperability.
“The beginning of Mobile WiMAX certification enables our member companies to deliver on their business commitments, and ultimately moves WiMAX service providers closer to bringing the mobile broadband Internet experience and new applications to consumers around the globe,” said WiMAX Forum president Ron Resnick, in a prepared statement.
Mobile WiMAX follows the IEEE 802.16e broadband wireless standard, with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access multiplexing. The WiMAX Forum’s certification programs are designed to indicate interoperability among fixed as well as mobile broadband wireless products.
