WiMAX

The explosive growth of the Internet over the last decade has lead to an increasing demand for high-speed, ubiquitous Internet access. Broadband wireless access (BWA) gained increasing popularity as an alternative "last-mile” technology to DSL lines and cable modems. Following the hugely successful global deployment of the 802.11 wireless local area network (LAN) standard, deployment of the IEEE 802.16d wireless metropolitan area network (MAN) standard was developed. This technology aimed to provide fixed broadband wireless access to residential and small business applications, as well as enable Internet access in regions without any existing wired infrastructure in place. Standardization efforts also made 802.16e version to provide mobility to the end user in a MAN environment.

Time-to-Market As with any new promising technology, time-to-market is a key differentiator for OEMs developing WiMAX compliant products. To achieve this, designers need access to off-the-shelf IPs and reference designs that help accelerate their own development cycle. Easy-to-use development tools, software and availability of development boards are other key requirements.

The diverse hardware requirements including processing speed, flexibility, integration and time-to-market necessitate an FPGA based implementation platform.

Zeteon offers highly optimized and standards compliant IP core solution for WiMAX OEMs. The reference systems provide significant competitive advantages by minimizing development time and resources, maximizing first-time success, mitigating risks and accelerating time-to-market.
