Wimax Forum - PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Most of you have seen the announcement regarding Sprint/Clearwire and the move to create a new company to be called Clearwire that will be focused on expediting the deployment of the nationwide mobile WiMAX network. Intel, Google, Time Warner and Brighthouse Networks are backing this new venture which will help shape the next generation of wireless services. This truly is a historic step forward for WiMAX as it represents the first nationwide deployment of a next generation mobile broadband network in the U.S. For more information regarding the new Clearwire, visit this press release.
The WiMAX Forum is pleased to announce that all equipment vendors may now register to have their product certified for profile MP05 (3A - 2.5GHz. All six WiMAX Forum Designated Certification Labs (WFDCLs) are now open to accept registrations for Certification Testing To register your product submissions with the WFDCL of your choice, please use the WiMAX Cert Tool on the WiMAX Forum Website.
At our WiMAX Forums inaugural Congress trade show in Singapore, we announced the first eight Mobile WiMAX products that received certification for Profile 1A at 2.3 GHz. These products included four base stations and four subscriber unit modules from member companies POSDATA, Runcom Technologies Ltd, Samsung Electronics Co., LTD and Sequans Communications. This certification milestone demonstrates our industry is following through on its commitment to deliver Mobile WiMAX infrastructure. Stay tuned for momentum to continue throughout the year as the first products for the 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz frequency achieve certification.
The WiMAX Forum Congress Asia event held in Singapore April 8-9 exceeded expectations with over 2700 visitors to the exhibitor floor, 50 plus exhibiting companies, and 500 delegates attending our interactive conference program!
