(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) and Altair Semiconductor today announced they will collaborate to accelerate the development of Mobile WiMAX See WiMAX and 802.16. devices. The companies plan to optimize the calibration and verification of Altair's Mobile WiMAX chipset using Agilent's Wireless Networking See wireless network. Test Set. As a result, handheld-device manufacturers implementing Altair's Mobile WiMAX chipset will be able to quickly and efficiently test and verify their Mobile WiMAX devices. The Agilent N8300A is a wireless networking test set and OFDMA OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access OFDMA Ofdm Access measurement application software, forming a complete one-box transmitter and receiver test solution for Mobile WiMAX devices. With its superior specifications and fast manufacturing test time, this solution effectively meets the needs of cell phone, ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) A contract manufacturer that uses its own designs and intellectual property (IP). See contract manufacturer. and CM manufacturing engineers testing WiMAX mobile subscriber devices or modules that use 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. 802.16e-2005. Altair's ALT2150 is the industry's smallest and lowest-power-consumption Mobile WiMAX baseband processor. Measuring a mere 7x7mm and consuming below 100mW in a 5Mbit/sec download scenario, the ALT2150 is the ideal choice for device and module manufacturers integrating mobile WiMAX in their products. "Outstanding performance and short test times are key requirements for manufacturers looking to test their Mobile WiMAX devices -- and they are the key features found in Agilent's N8300A test set," said Niels Fache, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Mobile Broadband Division. "These capabilities, coupled with Altair chipset-specific calibration and verification software, will ensure that handheld-device manufacturers realize the faster, more efficient calibration and verification test times they demand." "As an industry leader in manufacturing and conformance solutions, Agilent's depth of expertise will play a crucial role in helping our customers test and verify their designs," said Eran Eshed, co-founder and vice president of Marketing and Business Development at Altair. "Combining our expertise in this strategic partnership will make it easier for manufacturers to integrate Mobile WiMAX into their products, driving development of Mobile WiMAX devices to market faster and more efficiently."
