TeleCIS Wireless, a developer of WiMAX fixed and portable broadband wireless chips, has restructured to focus its business and engineering efforts toward delivering the industry's leading SoC solutions to the burgeoning fixed and portable WiMAX16d market. To strengthen its efforts, the company has sold its 16e WiMAX mobile SoC technology.
The sale of the 16e technology to a premier wireless chip vendor represents validation of the TeleCIS IP and designs-- originally developed for the 16d System on a Chip. TeleCIS remains completely committed to its flagship product, the TCW 1620 fixed/portable WiMAX (News - Alert) 16d SoC, and fully engaged in all aspects of business, including product development, manufacturing, product support, sales and marketing.
The company maintains a full product roadmap providing increased flexibility and functionality to the TCW 1620 as well as developing new features and interfaces. TeleCIS will continue working together with its strong team of manufacturing partners targeting the huge potential for fixed/portable WiMAX consumer solutions around the world, developing various products ranging from outdoor CPEs, desktop modems, PC Cards, USB devices, mini PCI form factors, cellular backhaul, surveillance and more.
This renewed focus on the fixed/portable market will allow TeleCIS to meet the enormous demands for fixed and portable consumer devices as the explosion of WiMAX "d" network deployments continue.
"There are thousands of 16d Base stations being deployed as we speak, and these networks will support thousands of CPEs, representing a solid market segment for the next several years," said Mike Hodges, CEO of TeleCIS Wireless, in a statement. "In addition, we are seeing dramatic proof of the health and promise of the WiMAX Fixed/Portable market through strong customer commitments resulting in a current pipeline in excess of 300,000 units."
