Korea gets WiMax certification lab
March 16, 2006
Outside North America - especially in Korea - momentum for WiMax wireless-broadband technology continues to grow. Korea, with the development of WiBro, is an early adopter of broadband wireless services and now is the homebase of a new certification lab. WiMax Forum original Cetecom Laboratories (www.cetecom.es) from Spain is the first laboratory, but to handle the expected boom in WiMax gear, they recently added TTA (Telecommunications Technology Association) in South Korea as the second.
TTA will likely specialize in certification of emerging products that conform to IEEE 802.16e, the mobile segment of WiMax. Which makes sense, as South Korea's WiBro (Wireless-Broadband) is essentially the basis for mobile WiMax. TTA plans to have the WiMax lab operating by the second quarter of this year. It expects to certify the first commercial mobile-WiMax product in the first quarter of 2007.
In other WiMax news, Cetecom Laboratories is also preparing to offer mobile-WiMax certification. The lab is jointly developing a protocol-conformance tester with Aeroflex. Cetecom and UK-based picoChip have just announced that the tester would rely on the PC102 DSP-array chips and the PC8530 software stack from picoChip. Cetecom hopes to begin mobile-WiMax testing by the end of the year.
