Motorola provides communications to people around the globe.
It offers WiMax products and services to users around the world, under the Home & Networks Mobility umbrella of the organization. Motorola has 19 contracts for commercial WiMAX systems with customers in 16 countries. Motorola shipped more than 3,600 access points and 120,000 CPEs and PC cards . Our WiMAX business for contract deployments, trials, and other customer engagements covers 44 countries worldwide. Motorola has teamed with Clearwire to provide global WiMax coverage, including 250 U.S. cities and 44 countries.
Its Interoperability Test program examines the validity of all WiMax technology and its capability of use in a Motorola WiMax network. The two labs are set up in South Korea and the United States. Once a device passes Motorola’s IOT program, you can be confident that the device is compliant with a Motorola system and able to operate in a commercial environment.
Some of Motorola’s products include the WiMAX Forum 802.16e Wave 2 ready wi4 WiMAX CPEi 150 is easy to install with “plug-and-play” functionality. The network will automatically detect the device and perform the necessary authentication processes. An easy to read signal strength indicator allows the user to orient the unit for optimum service. CPE device performance is a factor of antenna gain, directivity and orientation, as well as transmitter power and receiver sensitivity.
Radiated performance of WiMAX CPE devices can differ dramatically; in a typical environment, this high performing CPE can require dramatically fewer access points while still providing the same level of service. The Motorola WiMAX CPEi 150 desktop CPE features multiple antenna techniques that increase gain well beyond WiMAX Forum requirements.
Motorola also offers simple services to get consumers set up on a WiMax network. The IOT works remotely for any devices that consumers submit , to enable efficient network deployment and management.
