Comsys Communication and Signal Processing has announced the ComMAX full mobile WiMAX baseband processor targeted at terminal manufacturers. The new product offers a comprehensive multimode (IEEE802.16e) mobile WiMAX/cellular solution with a flexible architecture and power-saving features.

 

The new ComMAX solution supports current and future mobile WiMAX profiles including TDD and FDD. It is optimized for low-power operation, and features software/hardware partitioning. The architecture features a software-defined OFDM/A modem core and can support WiMAX, 3GPP LTE, 802.20 and future 4G technologies.


The Comsys mobile WiMAX baseband processor targets handset OEMs/ODMs, PDA designers and SD Card manufacturers. The company’s processor and accompanying reference designs will be available in the market during 2007.

"Comsys is a member of both the IEEE 802.16 and WiMAX Forum and is proud to take part in this event, which is being held for the first time in Israel", said Elkana Ben-Sinai, Comsys CEO. "Comsys is investing a lot of efforts in the development of new 4G solutions. We are happy for the opportunity to promote WiMAX activities in Israel and meet other industry leaders eager to drive WiMAX deployment forward. The ComMAX solution will be key in realizing Mobile WiMAX market potential, estimated to generate $53 billion revenue in 2011."
