Sequans' base station and
subscriber station mobile WiMAX reference designs streamed video with
all key vendors in multiple profiles
Cupertino, CA -- SEQUANS Communications, a leading supplier of fixed and
mobile WiMAX semiconductor solutions, participated in the recent WiMAX
ForumTM PlugFest at Bechtel Labs in Frederick, Maryland, with its chips
operating in both base station and subscriber station equipment. The
PlugFest provided an opportunity for 19 WiMAX companies to test
interoperability of chips, base stations and end user devices prior to
entering the official WiMAX Forum certification process scheduled for
later this year. |

"We had great success
with base station and subscriber station platforms using our chipsets
and testing across several profiles," said Bernard Aboussouan, Sequans
vice president of business development and marketing. "The WiMAX Forum
PlugFests are very valuable to the growth of the industry and this most
recent event assured us of the maturity of our technology and its
overall robustness. We were able to test interoperability with key
equipment vendors, measure our progress against competitors, and
generally make sure our interpretation of the standard is consistent
with the leading majority."
During the PlugFest, products using Sequans chipsets were tested in
frequency bands 2.3, 2.5 and 4.9 GHz, and in channel sizes of 5, 8.75
and 10 MHz. Sequans' base station reference design was able to transmit
video to the subscriber station devices of seven other vendors, while
Sequans' subscriber station reference design/PCMCIA was able to stream
video to the base station equipment of 10 other vendors. Two of Sequans'
customers, SOMA Networks and Airspan, also participated with equipment
based on Sequans chips.
