Worldmax and Beceem Expand WiMAX Network Performance
Launch of Aerea 5.0 Service Raises Download Speeds to 5 Mbps
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 18, 2008 --
Today, Worldmax, the wireless telecom provider, announced that it has
upgraded the capabilities of its commercial service to 5 Mbps downlink
data rates. This speed upgrade is available to all subscribers wishing
to benefit from the faster download speeds through a simple software
download plus an adjustment of their subscription service. Please visit http://www.aerea.nl
for further details.
Following its network deployment and service improvement plan Worldmax
is now launching the 5 Mbps service after careful evaluation of the
device performance and user experience in a 3.5 GHz environment. The
network optimization was performed in close partnership with WiMAX chip
partner Beceem, and the results look so promising that Worldmax is
expecting to introduce 32 Mbps on its network in 2009.
“We have worked very closely with our primary partner Alcatel-Lucent and
our strategic chip partner Beceem, and together we have been able to
redefine the performance envelope of mobile 3.5GHz networks,” said
Keimpe B. Algra, COO & CTO, Worldmax. “Without Beceem and the amazing
capabilities of their advanced WiMAX chip we would not be able to offer
this performance upgrade, and we are looking forward to further increase
the service capabilities of our network in 2009.”
“We have been able to work with many of the leaders in the WiMAX space
and have enabled a number of Mobile WiMAX firsts, but enabling seamless
hand-off at 3.5GHz while maintaining high throughput was a unique
challenge,” said, Babu Mandava, CEO of Beceem. “We are proud to have
been able to extend the capabilities of our industry leading device
solution, and we could not have done this without the close
collaboration with Worldmax. The outcome of this team work enables
Worldmax to take a market leadership position over other wireless
service providers in the Netherlands, and we are looking forward to be a
part of their growing market success in 2009. This is one great example
how the WiMAX ecosystem works together to innovate!”
