Huawei is using Sequans latest chip set in developing the latest mobile WiMAX devices. Sequans also announced that Accton Wireless Broadband has adopted Sequan’s chips for their latest mobile WiMAX devices. AWB’s latest devices include a USB dongle and two access devices.
Sequans’ SQN 1200 series chips work on 65 nm technology and five years of field testing and research. The Sequans’ patented dual transmit uplink technology improves coverage and throughput. The chip provides throughput of greater than 40 Mbps. The chips cover all three of the global WiMAX bands.
The AWB USB dongle is a top-of-the-line WiMAX device that delivers powerful benefits to mobile operators. The device delivers better link budget, improving the cell coverage and greatly improved network entry performance. For the consumer, it provides a great signal indoors and better throughput for data.
“Sequans’ advanced chip technology, including their powerful dual transmit uplink technology, contributes significantly to the high performance-over-cost value proposition of our WiMAX devices,” Ray Lee, president of AWB, said, “Sequans is one of the key strategic partners of AWB and our collaboration enriches the product line that addresses demand for Sequans support among our operator customers.”
The AWB IADs come with Ethernet and VoIP connects in a one package. The indoor model is simple to install for users. The IADs supports both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight, 2X2 MIMO. It’s dual-image software upgrade recovery mechanism, network discovery and selection makes the device
All of the devices, from both Huawei and AWB will be on display at Computex Taipei from June 1-5. It’s a great opportunity to see the latest and greatest for mobile WiMAX. WiMAX devices will drive the international market. Huawei leads the way in WiMAX deployments. They’ve help deploy over 60 WiMAX networks worldwide.
