Comsys Announces ComMAX(TM) Solution at 3GSM; Full Mobile WiMAX Baseband Processor.BARCELONA, Spain -- 3GSM World Congress: Hall 2, Booth E35 - Comsys Communication and Signal Processing, a leader in wireless baseband solutions, unveils ComMAX(TM), a full Mobile WiMAX baseband processor. Targeted at terminal manufacturers, ComMAX provides a comprehensive multimode (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) Mobile WiMAX/Cellular solution, based on a flexible architecture and offers substantial power-saving features. The ComMAX solution has been specifically designed with a flexible architecture to support current and future WiMAX profiles, including TDD (Time Division Duplexing) A transmission method that uses only one channel for transmitting and receiving, separating them by different time slots. No guard band is used. Contrast with FDD. See also TDD/TTY. TDD - Telecommunications Device for the Deaf and FDD (1) Abbreviation for floppy disk drive. See floppy disk. (2) (Frequency Division Duplexing) A transmission method that separates the transmitting and receiving channels with a guard band (some amount of spectrum that acts as a buffer or insulator). . Optimised for low-power operation, ComMAX features an optimal software/hardware partitioning. The architecture incorporates a software-defined OFDM/A modem core, and can support WiMAX, 3GPP LTE, 802.20 and future 4G technologies. ComMAX is designed for operation as a stand-alone baseband processor or as a Mobile WiMAX co-processor in a multimode reference design. Running an advanced MAC engine with neighbour-cell management, ComMAX supports high vehicular speeds and provides optimised handover capability. This new Mobile WiMAX baseband processor targets Handset OEMs/ODMs, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). designers and SD Card manufacturers. The processor and accompanying reference designs will be available in the market during 2007.
