For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. and certification of broadband wireless See wireless broadband. products based on the 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. 802.16 standard. Air Broadband's wireless switch-router solutions, based on IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area and IEEE 802.16 WiMAX, are field-proven to provide fast layer 2/3 roaming and scalability in multi-cell networks, enabling real-time applications and management capabilities. Air Broadband's wireless switch-router implementations for WiMAX ACR See riser card. (Access Control Router) provide IP Mobility, multi-vendor base stations Compatibility, wide Scalability and per flow QoS (MCSQ(TM)) improvements needed for WiMAX deployment. In addition to participating in the WiMAX Forum, Air Broadband is promoting interoperability among different base stations as well as ACRs. Air Broadband's antenna profiling technique allows operators to mix and match different base stations in the same region for any particular preference in performance and/or price. The WiMAX Forum is striving to create economies of scale made possible by standards-based, interoperable products that drive price and performance levels not achievable by proprietary approaches. WiMAX technology is designed to help service providers across global markets deliver economical broadband data, voice, and video services to both residential and business customers. "We are pleased to be a member of the WiMAX Forum," said Kenneth Kang, Air Broadband's President. "The Forum is essential to the development of the WiMAX market, as ACR is essential to real WiMAX deployment case. Air Broadband's real-world experience in broadband wireless switch-router will connect many base stations from many different vendors and provide IP mobility and QoS needed for all the exciting applications of WiMAX."
