WiChorus (News - Alert), a provider of scalable Intelligent Wireless Core Platforms for WiMAX and LTE (News - Alert) networks, and Wintegra, a fabless semiconductor company, today announced that they’ve finished interoperability testing between new technologies that each company developed.

 

By creating interoperability between WiChorus’ Intelligent ASN gateway and Wintegra’s (News - Alert) Mobile WiMAX base station technology, the companies aim to demonstrate end-to-end connectivity.

 

With this partnership, the consumers of silicon customers can accelerate their time to market for their WiMax base station products, the companies say. As part of the Wintegra WiMAX (News - Alert) 1.0 production release, they’ve worked to integrate and test their solutions. Enabling service providers to deploy large-scale, profitable WiMAX and LTE (long term evolution) networks, WiChorus provides a new class of intelligent wireless core platform, the companies say.

 

Looking to develop new “cutting-edge” WiMAX features, Wintegra will continue to invest in WiMAX technology. Wintegra are planning a follow up WiMAX 1.1 production release during the second half of this year that will add to the feature set already supported, the companies say. To ensure that the mobile WiMAX experience is simplified and seamless for partners, vendors, and mobile operators, WiChorus and Wintegra will continue to work together on a joint IOT program, the companies say.

 

Apart from demonstrating multi-vendor interoperability across the entire mobile ecosystem, the One Open WiMAX initiative is helping to ensure fully open WiMAX standards, including the adoption of a single open R6 interface.

 

“OFDMA 4G technologies are now starting to be deployed around the world”, said Mike Phillip, the general manager of Wireless Systems at Wintegra. “We expect that the schedule for successful specification and deployment of LTE equipment will be significantly accelerated from traditional 2G and 3G cellular deployments. As such, the telecommunications equipment manufacturers are looking for platforms that minimize the risk in deploying these newer, flatter network architectures and the partnership to test interoperability we have with WiChorus is a key factor in aiding this success.”
