WiMAX Forum® Certification
Completes Long List of Industry Leading Accomplishments for Beceem’s
BCS200 2.5 GHz Chipset
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Business Wire EON) June 17, 2008 --
Beceem, a leading supplier of high-performance Mobile WiMAX™
solutions, announced today that its BCS200 chipset was among the first
group of products that have received the WiMAX Forum Certified™
seal of approval for 2.5 GHz equipment, putting the exclamation mark at
the end of a long list of firsts for this chipset.
The BCS200 was the industry’s first fully
featured 2.5 GHz chipset, combining a powerful baseband with a tri-band
radio, and has been shipping commercially since June of 2007. Supporting
33 Mbps in MIMO mode as well as 20 Mbps in HARQ mode along with 50 ms
hand-off latency, the BCS200 has set a number of performance benchmarks
that are still unmatched today, clearly establishing Beceem’s
leadership in the WiMAX™ ecosystem.
An instrumental part of Beceem’s extensive
base station interoperability development program, the BCS200 is fully
feature compatible with the leading mobile network infrastructure
solutions. As such, the BCS200 was the first to meet Sprint’s
requirements in December 2007 and was also featured in a number of key
Mobile WiMAX demonstrations from Clearwire. Most recently the BCS200 was
showcased in FiTel’s Mobile WiMAX demo at
Computex, being embedded in an Acer Aspire laptop. Some of our publicly
announced OEM customers include Motorola, NEC, Samsung, Sanyo and ZTE,
along with Taiwanese ODMs AWB, D-Link and Quanta.
“2.5 GHz certification is an important
milestone for the open and competitive Mobile WiMAX ecosystem,”
said Babu Mandava, Beceem’s CEO. “The
performance and maturity of our Mobile WiMAX chipset has already been
proven in the field in many of the key Mobile WiMAX trials and
deployments around the world. Being among the first to achieve
certification gives our operator and infrastructure partners the added
confidence to launch commercial service with devices that are now also
proven to be fully compatible with all applicable WiMAX Forum profiles
and requirements”.
