Plano, TX -- SyChip, Inc., a subsidiary of Murata Manufacturing Co.,
Ltd., announced the launch of its first mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e-2005)

design and add WiMAX functionality to devices such as handsets, ultra

The SyMax platform
includes the WiMAX9xxx hardware and all the software necessary to
provide a turnkey system for WiMAX enabled devices. The CSM consist of a
baseband/MAC IC, a radio frequency transceiver, a power amplifier and
on-board memory and matching components. The software suite includes
drivers and application layer interfaces that will allow content
providers, manufacturers, and original equipment manufacturers the
flexibility to integrate and optimize their respective applications (VoIP,
Video/Audio streaming), host interfaces (SDIO, SPI, Half Mini-card) and
operating systems (Windows Mobile, Linux).
"The SyMax family of products leverages our leadership and know how in
the plug-n-play embedded space and wireless connectivity. It will
provide our customers a quick time-to-market solution as well as
minimize their upfront investment. We are seeing the benefits already
with the chipset vendors that we are working with," said Moses Asom,
SyChip co-founder and senior vice president of marketing and business
development. "This directly correlates to what is happening in the
market. According to IDC, WiMax technology experienced the most
substantial growth in the telecommunication market, jumping 140 percent
since 2005."
Engineering samples, which come in RoHS compliant packaging, will be
made available in August 2007. Volume production is scheduled to begin
during the second quarter of 2008. |
