Company Background

As a founder and board member of the WiMAX Forum™, Fujitsu Microelectronics leads the worldwide promotion and implementation of new generations of broadband wireless access technology. Since the inception of its mobile WiMAX SoC development program, Fujitsu has been actively working with early engagement customers and world-class base-station companies for IOT collaboration. Fujitsu has also been collaborating with ODMs, helping them to commercialize a variety of MS (mobile station) form factors to be ready for mass production. These form factors include PCMCIA cards, USB dongles and subscriber stations. The Fujitsu OFDMA PHY/MAC baseband SoC offers MIMO and beamforming features. Fujitsu is fully committed to participating in the 2008 Wave 2 certification program.

Fujitsu’s WiMAX Products & Solutions

The company’s IEEE802.16e-2005 WiMAX SoC was launched in June 2007. Fujitsu’s second-generation mobile WiMAX SoC solution is available and targets embedded handheld applications such as smart phones and PDAs. An advanced power management scheme greatly reduces its on-chip power consumption. Enhanced and optimized PHY and MAC circuitry allows the chip to be more efficient for embedded applications that use 65nm process technology. Compact modules combining baseband, RF and power management chips simplify design.

The new Mobile WiMAX (802.16e) base station SoC is flexible enough to support the low-cost requirements of a femto base-station architecture and yet scalable enough to support pico and even micro base-station architectures. This enables system manufacturers to leverage a single core solution across a multiple small base-station platforms. The highly integrated SoC incorporates all the PHY and MAC features necessary for a base station to meet the Mobile WiMAX Wave 2 certification requirements.
