LGC Wireless (News - Alert) has launched InterReach Fusion WiMAX, a high performance distributed antenna system (DAS) that supports both MIMO and SISO implementations. Fusion WiMAX (News - Alert) is reportedly based on LGC’s InterReach Fusion product. The solution will enable carriers, enterprises, and government agencies to quickly and cost-effectively deliver ultra high-speed wireless voice, data and video services inside any type of structure.

 

According to LGC, in-building DAS systems are essential for successful WiMAX deployments since with transmission frequencies of 2.5 GHz and higher, WiMAX signals attenuate very rapidly. The company’s Fusion WiMAX provides the same clear, strong, and consistent performance that Fusion cellular systems deliver to customers around the world. Since Fusion WiMAX also supports other cellular frequencies, mobile operators can use one system to support WiMAX as well as GSM, CDMA and WCDMA services.

 

The company further explains that the Fusion WiMAX system supports both MIMO and SISO antenna configurations. Existing InterReach Fusion systems can easily be upgraded to support WiMax services. The first release of Fusion WiMAX will be commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2007 and will support 2.5GHz WiMAX frequencies. The company has planned a 3.5 GHZ version for release in 2008.

 

“With the ability to deliver 100 megabits of bandwidth or more, WiMAX will rapidly gain adoption among carriers, public agencies, and enterprises,” said Ian Sugarbroad, president and CEO of LGC Wireless in a statement.

 

“LGC Wireless is leading the industry by providing a best-in-class, high-performance DAS solution that ensures indoor coverage for WiMAX users,” added Sugarbroad.

 

LGC Wireless is one of the leaders in specialized wireless coverage and capacity solutions for carriers and the enterprise. LGC’s scalable, high-performance indoor solutions are at work inside buildings in all major venues and industries.
