Atmel Announces WiMAX Specific Transceiver

San Jose, California (ots/PRNewswire)

- MAX-Link Solution is Architectured to Support WiMAX Applications
Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today the first of
its MAX-Link(TM) series of transceivers designed specifically for
WiMAX applications. The AT86RF535A is a single-chip radio operating
at 3.5 GHz with multiple bandwidth options. Additional members of the
MAX-Link family are being developed to cover other WiMAX frequency
bands and will interface with multiple baseband vendors. These
devices combine a low-noise amplifier, power amplifier driver,
receive/transmit mixer, receive/transmit filters, voltage controlled
oscillator, synthesizer, receive gain control, and transmit power
control, all completely digitally governed. All of the transceivers
will provide excellent RF performance with low current consumption
and a small die size.
WiMAX is a standards-based technology based on IEEE(R) 802.16. One
of the primary applications of this technology is to enable the
delivery of last-mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to
cable and DSL. WiMAX will provide fixed, nomadic, portable and,
eventually, mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the need
for direct line-of-sight with a base station. In a typical cell
radius of three to ten kilometers, WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) systems
can be expected to deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per channel for
fixed and portable access applications. This is enough bandwidth to
simultaneously support hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed
connectivity and thousands of residences with DSL speed connectivity.
Mobile network deployments are expected to provide up to 15 Mbps of
capacity within a typical cell radius of up to three kilometers. It
is expected that WiMAX technology will be incorporated in notebook
computers and PDAs by 2007, allowing for urban areas and cities to
become "metro zones" for portable, outdoor broadband wireless access.
Jeff Leasure, Atmel's wireless connectivity product line manager
said, "WiMAX technology will revolutionize the way we communicate.
Atmel's MAX-Link family of radios is specifically designed for WiMAX.
Our transceivers will allow operators and service providers to
cost-effectively reach millions of new customers with broadband
access. They cannot achieve this with an off-the-shelf radio."
The AT86RF535A is available now to select customers. Production
volumes will be available early in the second quarter of 2006.
Pricing is US$18.00 in quantities of 10,000. Modules incorporating
the AT86RF535A transceiver, baseband, and MAC are being added to the
roadmap. For more information please send your request to:
