(Product News, 3 Jun 2008)

ASUS has integrated GCT Semiconductor's GDM7205 WiMAX single-chip integrated circuit into the ASUS F8 notebook series and EeePC. ASUS' F8 notebook series offers mobile multimedia for revolutionary entertainment on-the-go. On its part, the EeePC is a new line of mobile internet devices (MIDs) providing users with comprehensive internet applications based on three Es: easy to learn, easy to work and easy to play.

Based on GCT's industry-proven CMOS RF technologies, GDM7205 implements MIMO, and all PHY and MAC features required for WiMAX Forum Wave 2 Certification. This compact solution, which is in mass production, contains a highly integrated, low-power transceiver which minimizes the number of external RF front-end components. It also includes a mobile WiMAX baseband with high performance dual-processors, and an impressive array of peripherals for connectivity.

GCT and ASUS is demonstrating these notebooks at WiMAX Expo Taipei being held at the Taipei World Trade Center this week, June 2-6, 2008.
