Aperto adds Mobile WiMAX and announces 3.65 GHz win
Sunday, June 29th, 2008 – 2:48 pmAperto Networks added a line of 802.16e-2005 WiMAX products to its offering and announced that California-based NextPhase Wireless has selected its 3.65 GHz products for WiMAX services in Southern California. The equipment manufacturer used the WiMAX Global Congress in Amsterdam last week to unveil a modular base station along with a series of modems and CPE based on the 802.16e-2005 standard. Traditionally a fixed wireless provider, Aperto placed its hat into the mobile ring. In addition, the company has partnered with wireless ISP NextPhase Wireless to begin canvassing the U.S. countryside with WiMAX signals for home and business broadband services in underserved markets.
The workhorse of the new product line is the PacketMAX 4000 modular base station. With support for one to four sectors and smart antennas techniques, including STC, MRC, and 2×2 or 4×4 MIMO, the new base station meets or exceeds the requirements for Wave 2 gear set forth by WiMAX Forum. The system also supports the three frequency band profiles established by the industry consortium - 2.3, 2.5, and 3.5 GHz.
