WiMAX certification

The WiMAX Forum has a certification program that subjects products to intensive, rigorous testing to assure everyone that they have the ability to interoperate with WiMAX devices from other vendors that have the same certification,” says Wright. “In June, Motorola’s WiMAX WAP 25400 base station passed the interoperability and conformance tests and thus received the WiMAX Forum Certified seal of approval for operation

So we now have certification on our most popular base station product, called a DiversityAccess Point, for customers around the world. This is the access point or the base station that has the power amplifiers and antennas combined into a single unit to make it nice and compact. It has a minimal footprint, which means that it only needs a small common equipment cabinet that sits at the base of the tower, that can be mounted on a wall or a post or potentially placed inside of a building.”

“Right now they also in the process of getting a number of their Customer Premise Equipment [CPE] units going through the certification process,” says Wright. “We have both indoor and outdoor customer premises equipment that we sell around the world. They’re just about commercially ready with a PC dongle, a USB connector that plugs into a PC and provides full mobile WiMAX functionality. They’ve gone through all of the shakedown tests and so forth. That product is now in a state where it should be commercially ready very soon.”
