Smaller, more powerful, carrier class wi4 WiMAX access point (WAP) 450 provides enhanced coverage and capacity SINGAPORE, April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola Inc. announced today that it is expanding the Motorola wi4 WiMAX access point portfolio with the introduction of the new 802.16e Wave 2-ready WAP 450. The WAP 450 access point uses the recently announced 4G common broadband base control unit. The WAP 450 has a smaller common equipment cabinet and a more powerful tower-top RF module that can improve coverage and capacity by delivering up to 10 watts of power output per sector at the antenna port. The 10 watts of power at the antenna port in WAP 450 is comparable to 20 watts or more power of a traditional ground base station which typically looses half of its power in the RF cables.Leer más

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 6, 2008 – From a mobile operator perspective, mobile WiMAX or 802.16e provides more of a service complement, than a competitive threat, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). The mobile standard for WiMAX, has been the subject of debate since its inception, the high-tech market research firm says. Mobile operators and vendors have disputed how this technology will impact their existing operations. The debate can be broken into two camps. "One camp led by select equipment vendors with no stake in WiMAX has taken an either/or approach to discussing mobile WiMAX," says Daryl Schoolar, In-Stat analyst. "Any gain by WiMAX comes at the expense of other 3G data technologies. In the other camp, infrastructure vendors like Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, and Nokia Siemens see a world where multiple mobile wireless broadband technologies will co-exist. In-Stat believes that the latter camp's view will prevail." Recent research by In-Stat found the following: - IMT-2000 acceptance will open new markets for 802.16e. - Mobile WiMAX will be more successful with laptops, external laptop adaptors, and other consumer electronics than in phone handsets.Leer más
