Intel Corp has announced its first dual-mode baseband chipset that supports both the fixed 802.16-2004 and mobile 802.16e-2005 specs for WiMax networks
Telecom gear with dual-mode support can be deployed in "d" mode and upgraded to "e" mode with an over-the-air software upgrade.
Motorola Inc plans to use the Intel chipset in its CPEi 200 series of WiMax customer-premise equipment, said Sean Maloney, general manager of Intel sales and marketing, in a statement. The first products from Motorola and "several other leading telecommunications equipment manufacturers" to boast the new chipset will reach the market sometime next year, he said.
