ADAPTIX Selects Maxim to Power New SX-Series Mobile WiMAX Terminals.

SX-Series Customer Premise Equipment Set to Target Mass Market Mobile WiMAX Deployment

DALLAS -- ADAPTIX, a pioneering developer of OFDMA-based mobile wireless systems, will use WiMAX radio frequency (RF) transceivers from Maxim Integrated Products to power the RF capabilities of the ADAPTIX SX-series mobile WiMAX terminals. The SX family of mobile terminals is designed to support mass market deployment of mobile WiMAX by carriers and operators.

"With the new Maxim RF chipset, the ADAPTIX SX-series mobile WiMAX terminals will offer carriers a high-performance, cost-effective means of deploying mobile WiMAX," said ADAPTIX Vice President of Marketing and Product Management Byron Young. "We've chosen to work with Maxim's technology due to its excellent RF performance in fixed and mobile applications."

With its third-generation SX series of CPEs, ADAPTIX serves carriers and operators looking to offer Mobile WiMAX 802.16e service, which is designed to provide customers with access to wireless broadband coverage and a host of applications, including voice over IP (VoIP) over WiMAX and mobile IPTV. ADAPTIX's SX-300, which is smaller and lighter than a typical travel hard drive, supports full 802.16e functionality, provides approximately four Mbps of aggregate airlink performance and is available in either 2.3 or 2.5 GHz profiles. The ADAPTIX SX-500 mobile terminal incorporates a high-performance OFDMA engine with standards-compliant 802.16e-2005 software. The SX-500 mobile terminal is ADAPTIX's performance leader and can be used in fixed, portable or vehicular applications. With options for MIMO and SmartAntenna upgrades, the SX-500 is designed with business wireless broadband applications in mind.

"We're excited that ADAPTIX has selected Maxim as a key component supplier for its new high-performance SX-series mobile terminals. Our two and three GHz high-performance, low-power 802.16e single-chip RF transceiver products are a great fit for ADAPTIX's new mobile terminals," said Dr. Saeed Navid, Maxim's wireless communications BU vice president. "ADAPTIX is clearly one of the leading players making mobile WiMAX a reality, and Maxim is proud to support ADAPTIX in its efforts."
