Canadian manufacturers debut 802.16-2004 wireless network system
Tranzeo and Vecima partner on end-to-end 3.5 GHz WiMAX equipment and network management.
Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Inc. and Vecima
Networks Inc. have completed collaboration on an end-to-end 3.5GHz WiMAX system,
based on the 802.16-2004 standard, featuring Vecima's base station technology
combined with Tranzeo's customer premise equipment (CPE). The solution is being
marketed by Vecima under the VistaMAX brand and is currently in volume
production.
The Vecima VistaMAX OBR3500 3.5GHz WiMAX base station and Tranzeo-made 3.5GHz
WiMAX subscriber units are interoperable and can be managed by Vecima's WiMAX
Network Management System.
The VistaMAX solution is envisioned to support such applications as tiered
residential Internet access, voice over IP, cellular backhaul and enterprise
data access in the licensed 3.5GHz frequency band. One unique capability of the
VistaMAX base station is to configure it as a point-to-point backhaul solution,
where it can be used to connect the cell with other cells or main backbone
interconnection points as well as create multiple point-to-point links to high
data rate subscribers.
In February, Vecima announced it received orders for OEM radio modules calling
for approximately $6.6 million in deliveries by the end of March, and an
additional $10.1 million by June 30. The deals required Vecima to expand its
manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand.
Tranzeo announced separately today that it will be the exclusive supplier of
wireless mesh network equipment to Mexico's leading homebuilder, Desarrolladora
Homex. Tranzeo's mesh radios will be installed on more than 40 of Homex's
construction sites across Mexico.
Neither firm has obtained the WiMAX Forum Certified mark for its 802.16-2004
products.
