WiMAX Basestation and Subscriber Stations
Market Trends
Over the years, the WiMAX standard has evolved to offer "last mile" connectivity at high data rates of up to 40 Mbps per channel. A brief chronology of the standard is as follows.
 The original IEEE 802.16 standard was developed for radios operating in the 10-66 GHz spectrum
for line-of-sight (LOS) transmission.
 IEEE 802.16a extended the range to include 2-11 GHz for non-line-of-sight (NLOS).
 IEEE 802.16c addressed the performance evaluation, testing and system profiling issues.
 IEEE 802.16-2004 (formerly known as 802.16d) the Fixed WiMAX standard consolidated the original
802.16, and the updates 802.16a, 802.16c.
 IEEE 802.16e-the Mobile WiMAX standard adds support for mobility. It incorporates Europe's HiperMAN
ETSI standard.
With numerous trials ongoing and WiMAX Forum CertifiedTM products expecting to rollout in 2007, solution providers need to be able to support the performance required by this demanding technology but also have the flexibility to deal with interoperability and future product upgrades.
VeriSilicon Solutions
ZSP® Ultimate DSP Processors
ZSP540 and ZSP560, members of VeriSilicon's ZSP G2 superscalar product family, feature extremely high performances with best-in-class code density and power consumption. ZSP540 is a powerful Quad-MAC, Six-ALU sophisticated architecture. The core executes up to 4 instructions per cycle at speeds in excess of 400 MHz on a 90nm process. ZSP560 adds instruction and data cache capability for minimum system cost. They are the ideal customer choice for today's advanced mobile applications requiring DSP intensive processing such as OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access).
