Motorola Showcases New Wave-2 Ready CPEi 150; Mobile WiMAX Demonstrations at
CTIA Wireless 2008
Powers WiMAX experience at Motorola, XOHM(TM) locations and for ecosystem
outdoor WiMAX mobility demo
ARLINGTON HTS., Ill., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc.
(NYSE: MOT) today introduced the plug-and-play desktop CPEi 150 for indoor
fixed WiMAX deployments, the latest 802.16e-compliant Wave-2 ready addition to
Motorola's award-winning WiMAX consumer product portfolio.
The new CPEi 150 features one data port, supports remote management and
operates in the 2.5GHz band. As a true plug-and-play device, the CPEi 150
automatically connects to the WiMAX network and authenticates itself for easy
setup. An intuitive graphical interface also lets users troubleshoot and
personalize their services. The CPEi 150 is scheduled to be available for
service providers during Q2 2008.
"Service providers are turning to fixed, portable and mobile WiMAX to
extend coverage and add more wireless voice, video and data services to
satisfy subscriber demand," said Motorola senior vice president Fred Wright,
who oversees Motorola's WiMAX, LTE and other wireless technologies. "We
continue to roll out products that enable data-rich and bandwidth-intensive
applications for fixed, portable and mobile WiMAX users and deliver on the
promise of media mobility."
The CPEi 150 is fully compliant to the IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology
standard, which enables both fixed and mobile use. It and other products in
Motorola's CPE portfolio will be delivered for WiMAX Forum(R) certification to
ensure interoperability among the global WiMAX ecosystem.
Motorola will showcase the CPEi 150 and other customer premises equipment
in its end-to-end WiMAX portfolio as part of its media mobility showcase in
booth #1806 at CTIA Wireless 2008 in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC)
Apr. 1-3.
As at CES earlier this year and recently at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Motorola is participating with ecosystem partners Intel, Clearwire
and XOHM to offer mobile WiMAX "test drives" around the LVCC using real-world
WiMAX applications that demonstrate WiMAX from an end user's perspective.
Internet video will be streamed live from the WiMAX equipped vehicles to the
Motorola booth, providing attendees a glimpse of mobile WiMAX.
In addition, Motorola is teaming with Sprint to power WiMAX demonstrations
using Motorola PC cards at the WiMAX Lounge which is sponsored by major WiMAX,
and will also provide WiMAX infrastructure within the XOHM Booth (#1648) for
the XOHM pods where external PC devices from other ecosystem vendors will
interoperate with Motorola's infrastructure. Finally, Motorola's WiMAX
infrastructure will support live demos of its devices within the XOHM booth.
Motorola's flexible wi4 WiMAX access point portfolio, which includes the
WAP 400, 600 and 800 series, can be easily configured to support a wide
assortment of coverage, capacity, and application scenarios utilizing an array
of options including macro, micro, sectorized, omni, tower-top electronics,
high-power distributed electronics, MIMO and smart antenna techniques.
Motorola is a global leader in mobile WiMAX with 19 WiMAX contracts and
more than 75 engagements in 44 countries worldwide. More information on
Motorola's global WiMAX activity can be found at Motorola WiMAX World Tour.
