NEC to Deliver First Mobile WiMAX
Solutions to Worldwide Market
<<<... NEC recently received an order from Tatung Co. in Taiwan to deliver its first commercial WiMAX system. NEC plans to actively participate in future trials, and to secure new orders for commercial systems based on its performance in Taiwan. PasoWings, which provides end-to-end solutions, is comprised of subscriber terminals (CPE) such as PCMCIA cards that are inserted into PCs; wireless access products such as base stations and antennas, and application servers such as user authentication servers or user positional information management servers. By combining PasoWings with its network products - for example, backhaul systems for connections between base stations or between base stations and core networks (switches), or SIP servers that enable IP phone services to be offered via WiMAX networks - NEC can provide all of the elements required for the construction of communication carriers' networks in a single package. High-performance, high-efficiency systems can be achieved by incorporating products and technologies in fields where NEC has demonstrated exceptional capabilities, including antenna technologies, advanced scheduling algorithms, and high-efficiency amplifiers developed using wireless technologies cultivated through the company's activities in W-CDMA and microwave/satellite communication systems. As the market develops worldwide NEC will grow and develop its WiMAX product family to support its broad existing and potential customer base.
