Terabeam Selects Fujitsu Chips for WiMAX Products

Terabeam Wireless, a developer and supplier of broadband wireless systems, announced at the ISPCON in Baltimore, has selected the MB87M3400 WiMAX system on a chip by Fujitsu Microelectronics America Inc. (FMA) for its upcoming WiMAX product line, the Terabeam TeraMax 3.0 family.

The TeraMax 3.0 products will be compliant with official WiMAX specifications and will incorporate Terabeam’s new wireless network management operating system, code-named Logan. The company plans to have the product generally available in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Terabeam will offer point-to-multipoint and point-to-point WiMAX systems complying with the IEEE 802.16-2004 WiMAX standard as an extension of its TeraMax product series.

The current generation of TeraMax products has been providing much of the functionality of WiMAX since 2004, such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), adaptive dynamic polling, packet aggregation, enhanced security options and some nonline-of-site capability.

In today’s generation of TeraMax products base stations, customer premises equipment and bridges are available for operation at multiple frequency bands – including the 4.9 GHz band dedicated to public safety in the United States. They also come in compact enclosures with integrated antennas, and ones with ruggedized enclosures.

Terabeam Wireless is the business name of YDI Wireless Inc.
