Wintegra and Altair Join Forces to Expand WiMAX and LTE Ecosystem

(Business News & Technology News, 21 May 2008)

Wintegra Inc. and Altair Semiconductor (Altair) are partnering to accelerate the adoption of interoperable mobile WiMAX base station and customer premise equipment (CPE) technologies. Altair is a fabless chip company developing advanced 4G semiconductors for handheld devices.

The collaboration between the two companies will involve the exchange of hardware, software and expertise to facilitate more rapid adoption of the latest 802.16e mobility features, including throughput and power control, performance optimizing multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and advanced antenna system (AAS) technology in a mobile environment.

Through this partnership, Wintegra and Altair will ensure interoperability of their WiMAX and LTE product lines, which enables mutual customers to achieve a more rapid market acceptance of their solutions. The two companies intend to continue their close co-operation at an engineering level, and are already collaborating on LTE development and interoperability plans that will allow the Wintegra silicon and software targeted at LTE base station designs to work with Altair's new technology targeted at LTE CPE equipment.
