picoChip Designs has sampled its first device, the PC101, which delivers a massive computational power of 30GMACs per second.
The company is involved directly, with partner Wintegra, while Airspan, M/A-Com and Cetecom are all participating with products based on picoChip's PHY.
picoChip's proven WiMAX PHY is accepted as a de facto industry standard.
Notably, it has been selected by Cetecom - the WiMAX Forum's approved testing authority for the certification of WiMAX products for use in its protocol conformance tester.
"Certification and interoperability are absolutely critical to the success of communications technology".
"Indeed, this is the whole point of standards".
"The success of the WiMAX ecosystem, and the speed with which the industry is moving towards interoperability is truly outstanding", said Guillaume d'Eyssautier, CEO and President at picoChip.
"picoChip is wholly committed to the goals of interoperability and we will take our product through to WiMAX certification as soon as possible".
"It is a testimony to the maturity of our reference designs that so many customers and partners are already using them in the Plugfest".
WiMAX Forum Plugfests are designed to identify interoperability problems and different interpretations of standards, foster open technical discussions, and help refine interoperability testing for future certification testing.
