High performance wireless broadband
The next evolution of wireless
The emerging 802.16 family of WiMAX wireless broadband standards addresses several key application areas:
- Wireless Backhaul
- “Last Mile” wireless broadband
- Wide-area mobile data
One antenna isn’t enough
To provide adequate coverage and throughput for the new 802.16e mobile standard, vendors of WiMAX equipment will need to move to sophisticated multi-antenna base stations, employing complex, processor intensive digital signal processing techniques such as Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) and beamforming.
Using these techniques, vendors can dramatically improve the performance and coverage of their equipment, and create highly differentiated products.

Futureproof products can adapt to new standards
The wireless standardization process is a long one, with new standards such as 802.16e taking years to develop. Even when standards are completed, many issues are not discovered until interoperability testing, late in the development cycle.
By adopting a Software Defined Radio platform, vendors can start product development ahead of the standards being frozen, allowing them to gain crucial “first mover” advantage in the market, and significantly reducing the risk of delays due to last minute changes to the standards.
Differentiate and add value through software IP
With today’s System-On-Chip offerings, it is increasingly hard for equipment vendors to find sources of product differentiation – if your competitors are using the same chipset, they’ll have the same feature list, and the same performance.
Aspex’s Software Defined Radio platforms put you in control, and give you a flexible platform where you can add value and differentiate your product. By applying your expertise and creating your own intellectual property, you can stay ahead of the competition.
Whether it’s high performance, better coverage, or lower cost-per-sector, Aspex puts you in control of your own destiny.
Continuous improvement of performance and coverage
With complex, multi-antenna beamforming and MIMO techniques, you’ll always be finding new ways to improve performance and coverage, and stay ahead of the competition.
Aspex’s software-defined platforms let you continue to develop new, innovative IP throughout the product lifecycle, and roll it out to equipment that’s already deployed in the field without expensive hardware changes.
