Hi Jose et al,
Do you know if this certification was for the full Wave 2 Phase 2
feature set?
I read in a press article that Ron Resnick said in Amsterdam,
"Certification of Wave-2 Phase-2 2.5GHz products is expected to start
mid-2009"
Can anyone explain this?
Best Regards,
Bill Xenakis

Dear 802.16
friends,
The WiMAX Forum
has certified the first IEEE Standard 802.16e based MIMO products for 2.5GHZ
bands. See the news release below.
Thanks to all of
you who contributed to the IEEE 802.16 standards over the years. I think
this surely will be regarded as an inflection point in
the wireless broadband industry. It has been a lot of hard work by the
IEEE 802.16 WG creating the world's first OFDMA+MIMO standard and then by
the WiMAX Forum to get the certification process done to enable the products
to get to market. It did take a while to get here, but it is surely
sweet :)
Heart felt
congratulations to all our friends at the WiMAX Forum on this momentous
occasion! All their hard work has come to fruition. Also wishing them all
the success going forward!
If you want to change the world, this is how we do
it. One step at a time. Or in 802.16 WG terms we might say, "one
comment" at a time. Enjoy the moment!
thanks &
best regards,
jose
