chip architecture together with our efficient algorithms enables a highly cost-effective and power-efficient digital baseband implementation for WiMAX,” said Beceem Pres. Babu Mandava. He said the chip will meet an OFDMA airlink’s demands. The firm said the chipset would: (1) Set the bar for mobile WiMAX chipsets with high performance, small footprint, power efficiency and time- to-market leadership. (2) Hasten the market for Mobile WiMAX by enabling high-throughput terminals that significantly outpace 3G based solutions. (3) Enable rapid emergence of a terminal ecosystem for Mobile WiMAX due to the MS120 reference design kit’s completeness and simplicity.
