Sequans Communications and Celestica (News - Alert) have announced the availability of an integrated Sequans/Celestica baseband/RF solution for manufacturers of high-end WiMAX base stations.

 

The new solution integrates Sequans' new baseband Mobile WiMAX chip, the SQN2130, the first Mobile WiMAX (News - Alert) base station MAC/PHY in the market, with Celestica's open base station architecture initiative (OBSAI)-compliant Remote Radio Head (RRH) solution accelerator platform.

 

The integration provides a total solution for manufacturers of large Mobile WiMAX base stations. The companies explain that OBSAI standards have been established to create an open market for cellular base stations.

 

Bernard Aboussouan, Sequans VP of marketing and business development points out that Celestica is recognized as an industry leader in implementing OBSAI and expressed their delight to jointly deliver this total solution for manufacturers of high-end Mobile WiMAX base stations. Aboussouan believes that infrastructure suppliers can now get to market quickly with a high power, high-end solution.

 

“We are very pleased to collaborate with Sequans to make this important Mobile WiMAX solution available,” said Randy Clark, director of Celestica's WiMAX Solutions Practice in a statement.

 

Clark explained that their WiMAX Solution Accelerators are pre-engineered platform solutions that can be customized by companies in the fixed, nomadic, and mobile WiMAX market to shrink their design cycle and drive faster time-to-market. He added that the combination of their Remote Radio Head solution accelerator with Sequans' new baseband technology provides an innovative solution, compliant with an established standard for base station interfaces.
