Motorola (News - Alert), Inc. has introduced the latest addition to its portfolio of WiMAX customer premises equipment (CPE) -- the CPEi 100. The CPEi 100 is a single data port, 2.5 GHz "plug-and-play" WiMAX (News - Alert) solution capable of delivering reliable, wireless broadband Internet connectivity. The CPEi 100 serves as the interface between a computer and the WiMAX network.

 

The CPEi 100 joins Motorola's portfolio of WiMAX 802.16e CPEs and is part of the MOTOwi4 family of broadband wireless access products. It is likely to be available in 2008 for WiMAX operators who have systems in the 2.5 GHz band.

 

"Performance and ease-of-use are essential to motivate consumers to upgrade to higher performance wireless broadband technologies, "said Fred Wright, Motorola senior vice president, Cellular Networks and Broadband. "The CPEi 100 provides that experience and enables WiMAX operators to offer a home device that consumers can install and setup in only a matter of minutes."

 

Motorola's wi4 WiMAX solutions are equipped to support fixed, portable, nomadic and mobile applications. The WiMAX access points, CPEs and mobile WiMAX chipsets under development for use in Motorola's devices are part of the MOTOwi4 portfolio of solutions that aim to complement wireless broadband networks.

 

Motorola currently has 15 WiMAX contracts and more than 57 WiMAX engagements in 38 countries worldwide, including 44 active trials.
