MOTOwi4 <strong>WiMAX</strong> <strong>FACT</strong> <strong>SHEET</strong><strong>Motorola</strong>wi4 <strong>WiMAX</strong>wi4 WIMAX<strong>WiMAX</strong> is Delivering Carrier-grade Services Worldwide<strong>WiMAX</strong> commercial deployments are going live all over the world inincreasing numbers. These new networks are connecting tens of thousandsof people, many for the first time, and surpassing high thresholds for reliablebroadband and voice services in demanding markets. <strong>Motorola</strong> is leading thischarge, with one of the first <strong>WiMAX</strong> Forum Certified 802.16e products onthe market – the wi4 WAP 25400 access point.Definition<strong>WiMAX</strong> (WorldwideInteroperability forMicrowave Access)provides advanced wirelessbroadband access infixed, portable, and mobileenvironments. <strong>Motorola</strong>’s<strong>WiMAX</strong> solutions are basedon the IEEE (Institute ofElectrical and ElectronicEngineers, Inc.)802.16e-2005 standardfor fixed and mobileapplications. Focused onlicensed bands, primarily2.5GHz, 3.5GHz and2.3GHz, <strong>WiMAX</strong> is awireless alternative towired broadband accesswith greater range andbandwidth than WiFi anda roadmap to mobility. Anindustry consortium knownas the <strong>WiMAX</strong> Forum ®manages the certificationprogram for the <strong>WiMAX</strong>standard and is building anecosystem to support anend-to-end solution.<strong>WiMAX</strong> untethers broadband and makes itaccessible and reliable in all regions of the worldfor fixed, portable and mobile users. <strong>Motorola</strong>’sshared deployment success with our customersstems from leadership in end-to-end solutionsthat provide low total cost of ownership and fastdeployment. In mature markets, populations in the“digital divide” are finally being given access tothe information superhighway – the mass marketwill soon have access to multi-megabit speeds onthe go. Emerging markets are further capitalizingon <strong>WiMAX</strong> by connecting entire populations tomore robust and reliable broadband nationwide,enabling residential, enterprise and governmentalapplications.Operators and their <strong>WiMAX</strong> business plans varywidely. Telcos, cable and new entrant operators find<strong>WiMAX</strong> as a way to spread broadband and providea path to mobility. Cellular operators are also finding<strong>WiMAX</strong> as a useful technology to capitalize onunderutilized spectrum, enter the fixed broadbandmarket, or execute innovative business strategies.<strong>WiMAX</strong> has proven to be a key all-IP mobilebroadband access technology. It is driving thesuccess of operators worldwide.<strong>Motorola</strong>’s wi4 <strong>WiMAX</strong> Solution<strong>Motorola</strong> is a global leader in mobile <strong>WiMAX</strong> that hastrials and contracts for commercial <strong>WiMAX</strong> systemswith customers in all regions around the world. Asof Dec. 31, 2008, <strong>Motorola</strong> had shipped more than6,600 3-sector and 4-sector access points and morethan 360,000 CPEs and USB broadband modems.<strong>Motorola</strong> provides a full end-to-end <strong>WiMAX</strong> solutionthat extends beyond just the infrastructure to theIP core, operations and maintenance, full servicesportfolio, and customer premises equipment (CPE).<strong>Motorola</strong>’s <strong>WiMAX</strong> solution makes the world onebig, never-ending hot spot where service providerscan provide high-speed communications tocustomers whether they are at home, in the office,or on the move. <strong>Motorola</strong>’s wi4 <strong>WiMAX</strong> solutionsenable service providers to blend their traditionallines of business and position themselves todeliver full suites of voice, video and datawirelessly to fixed, portable and mobile users.<strong>Motorola</strong>’s <strong>WiMAX</strong> solutions promise to –• Deliver the “wireless broadband pipe”,enabling rich-media, bandwidth-intensiveapplications including voice, data and videofor fixed, portable and mobile users.• Interoperate with a vast ecosystem of <strong>WiMAX</strong>networks, applications, devices and consumerelectronics to deliver pervasive coverage anda true “personal broadband” experience.• Give service providers the opportunity toextend coverage and capabilities with a highperforming,standards-based wirelessbroadband access portfolio to meet the needsof residential, enterprise and government.• Be cost-effective and go where teledensity hashistorically been low.Key Benefits• Industry acceptance of <strong>WiMAX</strong> by a growingpopulation of more than 500 companies thatare members of the <strong>WiMAX</strong> Forum ® .• <strong>Motorola</strong> end-to-end infrastructure, devicesand professional services that ensure on-timedeployment, low total cost of ownership, andreliable end-user services.• <strong>Motorola</strong> Common Broadband Platformsupporting both LTE and <strong>WiMAX</strong> base stations.Advanced telecommunications technologiesline-up: S-OFDMA (Scalable - OrthogonalFrequency Division Multiple Access) – morebits per hertz and improved mobilityperformance; all-IP architecture – costeffective; MIMO (Multiple Input MultipleOutput) and Smart Antennas – better coverage.
