The Federal Communications Commission has announced that it’s certified Solectek’s new WiMax broadband wireless product line, operating in the newly created licensed 3.65 GHz frequency band for licensing to wireless ISPs and other enterprise users.

 

Based on FCC (News - Alert) registration, the light licensing model allows for rapid deployment of networks and services for fast moving organizations, according to the company. The SkyWay-MAX 3.65 GHz product line is based on Solectek’s 3.5 GHz WiMax product family and features what company officials call the industry’s best price performance ratio.

 

Eric Lee, chief executive officer of Solectek, said that his company wants to ensure it’s providing cost-effective, high performance WiMax solutions for the independent ISP community. He said that WiMax architecture allows a new entrant to start small and build up their network as their business grows.

 

Solectek said that the SkyWay-MAX family consists of an “all-in-one” high-power Base Station, small form factor outdoor Subscribers, and indoor controller. The company is also offering a starter kit with one Base Station and 6 Subscribers, officials say.

 

Founded in 1989, Solectek manufactures a full line of broadband wireless connectivity products from last-mile access, video surveillance transport to high capacity backhaul up to 1 Gbps. Earlier this year, Solectek added 3.65 GHz WiMax base stations and subscriber terminals tailored for Wireless Internet Service Providers and municipalities.
