White paper on technical challenges
in Mobile WiMAX
WiMAX semiconductor expert Fujitsu Microelectronics has
published a white paper describing the technical challenges
faced by mobile product developers and semiconductor vendors
in using Mobile WiMAX solutions to meet growing broadband
demand. Entitled "Mobile WiMAX Solutions, Moving the
Momentum Forward," the paper provides strategies that
are most likely to succeed in meeting marketplace requirements.
The technology now exists to add WiMAX connectivity to
a broad variety of mobile products, which can then furnish
broadband speeds greater than 1 Mbps for services such as
Internet access, e-mail, VoIP and video streaming - while
maintaining the form factor and battery life of 3G devices.
"Fujitsu is dedicated to working closely with mobile
product vendors to satisfy consumers' rapidly-growing appetite
for broadband access," said Dean Chang, senior product
marketing manager, Fujitsu Microelectronics America. "Fujitsu
is providing high-performance SoCs capable of meeting the
aggressive price points required for mobile handsets and
our second-generation WiMAX module features the lowest power
consumption available now. This paper defines the challenges
of implementation and offers strategies for meeting the
technical requirements of mobile WiMAX devices."
