Mobile WiMAX Chipsets
RF LSI, Baseband LSI, Power management LSI
The WiMAX standard enables system vendors to create many different types of WiMAX-based products, including indoor and outdoor
CPEs, as well as mobile handsets in the forms similar to the traditional cell phones. To address the increasing demands of
attractive Mobile WiMAX handsets, and foreseeing the difficulty of including WiMAX into an already complicated mobile handset
design, Fujitsu now introduces its 2nd generation chipset target to enable module vendors to modulize hardware components
that are necessary for a Mobile WiMAX handset, into an easy and concise single package.
The chipset includes a baseband LSI, the MB86K22; an RF LSI, the MB86K52; and a power management LSI, the MB39C316.
