Motorola ( News - Alert), Inc. announced today that it will demonstrate its award-winning CPEi 300 as part of the live WiMAX experience at the Motorola booth at WiMAX ( News - Alert) World USA, which takes in place in Chicago, Sept. 26-27.
A desktop consumer device providing wireless broadband connectivity to the unserved and underserved, the new CPEi 300 Series features one data port for data-centric operations, in addition to two analog terminal adaptors (ATAs), allowing users to plug in their analog phones for VoIP service. It’s scheduled to be available in the final quarter of 2007.
The WiMAX CPEi 300 Series is compliant to IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology standards, and is set to be delivered for WiMAX Forum certification to ensure interoperability among the global WiMAX ecosystem. Similar to other Motorola CPE, the CPEi 300 uses multiple antenna technology, thereby delivering increased range and higher throughput compared to products that utilize single antenna solutions.
“As a global vendor of WiMAX solutions, Motorola has designed a versatile portfolio of access points, customer premises equipment, chipsets, services and devices that addresses the varying wants and needs from operators around the world with economics that make sense for any given market,” said Fred Wright, senior VP in charge of Motorola’s Home & Networks Mobility WiMAX business. “The CPEi 300 is an entry-level, reduced cost device that provides fixed, wireless broadband connections to bandwidth intensive, rich media applications, voice, data, and video services.”
Motorola’s portfolio of WiMAX solutions includes services, access points, chipsets and such devices as outdoor subscriber units with significant advantages in coverage and capacity; self-install desktop subscriber units that can receive signals through the building walls; PC cards that bring the WiMAX connection directly to the laptop; handsets that feature multimode/multi-band operations with cellular-like mobile performance and broadband-like data throughput; and chipsets designed to deliver high-speed functionality
through thin devices.
Featuring the Intel ( News - Alert) WiMAX Connection 2250 chipset, the plug-and-play Motorola CPEi 300 Series Desktop delivers reliable high-speed wireless broadband connectivity without waiting for installation, complex configuration or operator intervention.
