Alcatel-Lucent Receives Mobile WiMAX Certification

Alcatel-Lucent has been awarded the WiMAX Forum Certified seal of approval for its WiMAX 802.16e Compact Base Station at 2.5GHz. Alcatel-Lucent's infrastructure portfolio is made up of products that strictly comply with the 802.16e-2005 standard (also called Rev-e), which supports fixed, nomadic and mobile services. The company said its "Open CPE Program" is helping to accelerate the availability of terminals by encompassing comprehensive interoperability testing programs with WiMAX chipset and end-user device suppliers.


To earn this certification, Alcatel-Lucent's 802.16e WiMAX products underwent testing by the WiMAX Forum's lead certification laboratory partner, AT4 wireless, spanning protocol conformance, radio conformance and interoperability testing.http://www.alcatel-lucent.comhttp://www.at4wireless.com
