WiMAX™ 802.16-2004 Reference Design Hardware Platforms
Complete hardwaare reference designs are available for various purposes. The process toward certification by the WiMAX Forum™ is underway for the full-system version. This reference design includes all the hardware required for a cost-effective system solution. Visit this page for details of WiMAX software reference platforms.
Several hardware platforms are available with the performing chip, software, and system verification. The reference board evaluation system for subscriber stations can be configured to support either TDD or HDX FDD, depending on the radio selection. The simplified base station evaluation system provides an example of a full duplex FDD implementation using an external processor. The key features of the evaluation boards include:
- RF port interface for third-party radio
- Radio module
- Network interface
- On-board memory
- On-board control using SPI, I2C, and GPIO
- Debug port interfaces
- RS232C interface port
- External power supply interface
Certification and Compliance
Fujitsu has designed the MB87M3550 wireless MAN SoC to comply with the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard and intends to certify
systems according to WiMAX profiles.
