NEC's Base Stations, Mobile Subscriber Units Secure are Now WiMAX Forum-certified

(Business News & Technology News, 3 Sep 2008)

NEC Corp. has received the WiMAX Forum Certified seal of approval for its base station and 2.5GHz mobile subscriber units. Each newly certified product has faced a stringent suite of interoperability tests, which the WiMAX Forum sets out to ensure that different vendor systems work seamlessly with one another.

This certification follows a long history of global WiMAX successes for NEC. Notably, in June of this year, NEC became the first manufacturer to be certified through the WiMAX Forum Designated Certification Lab in Taiwan.

"Certification of this key NEC portfolio component validates the company's long term commitment to WiMAX and its larger role in smoothly delivering mobile and wireless data networks on a global scale," says Dr. Nobuhiro Endo, Associate Senior Vice President of NEC. "NEC's exceptional achievements include implementation of MIMO Matrix B; an antenna technology which allows operators to double throughput to their customers when compared to existing WIMAX performance."

As a market leader in WiMAX development, and one of the first manufacturers to receive 2.5GHz certification, NEC aims to become one of the foremost suppliers of WiMAX networks throughout the world.

"WiMAX Forum certification brings us one step closer towards NEC's vision of a ubiquitous data network. Our success also sends an extremely positive message about WiMAX's future to those seeking evidence of the technology's growing maturity," says Endo.

NEC's WiMAX portfolio supports all of the Mobile WiMAX elements that make it the wireless technology of choice for next generation networks, including high speed data access, VoIP and mobile services.
