) technology on a software defined radio A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported.  platform, this week demonstrated fixed and mobile OFDMA-TDD pre-WiMAX systems at the WiMAX Forum Members General and Working Group Face-to-Face event July 11 - 15, in Vancouver, B.C. ADAPTIX's demonstration provided a preview of the mobile version of WiMAX with fixed and mobile configurations delivering rich multimedia content to various devices.

"This week's demonstration clearly shows the promise of mobile WiMAX See WiMAX and 802.16.  is fast approaching -- it's no longer just a futuristic new technology we simply talk about," said Vernon Fotheringham, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

  • Chevrolet Suburban (GMC Yukon XL) formerly GMC Suburban
 Denali, where it simultaneously receives mobile Voice over IP calls, streaming video content such as feature-length movies and the transfer of large files, at throughput of up to 2.5 Mbps traveling at vehicular speeds through the coverage area. The technology is based on the forthcoming 802.16e wireless standard, expected to be ratified by the WiMAX Forum and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Not to be confused with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE).

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE (pronounced as eye-triple-e
 (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. ) later this year.

"Mobile WiMAX is attracting huge interest," said Andy Fuertes, senior analyst, Visant Strategies. "While most companies are focused on fixed WiMAX systems, ADAPTIX is also doing some very compelling work in the mobile environment and showcasing some of the compelling applications which will help drive this technology forward."

ADAPTIX reached an agreement in May to supply OFDMA/TDD channel cards to LG Electronics for upcoming WiBro deployments in South Korea. WiBro is a mobile wireless broadband platform similar to 802.16e. ADAPTIX also has deployments in China, Australia, and Canada, as well as yet-to-be announced trials worldwide.
