Siemens Mobile announced plans for a complete solution for WiMAX radio networks (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), expected to be available in the second half of 2005.

In addition to base stations based upon the IEEE 802.16d standard for fixed wireless broadband, the solution also will encompass integration and service offerings. Siemens has joined together with Intel and the WiMAX Forum industry organization to advance the IEEE 802.16 standard. Within this context, Intel and Siemens will work together on the development of WiMAX base-station infrastructure equipment as well as end user subscriber station devices to deliver to providers when the Siemens WiMAX solution is launched.

Due to its range and data rates, WiMAX technology based on IEEE 802.16d is ideally suited for providing wireless, stationary, broadband Internet access to companies and private households. In addition, the IEEE 802.16 standard includes a mobile variant that will allow enterprises to serve nomadic notebook users who need to log on to the Internet or intranet from different locations inside and outside the company.

Wireless networks on the basis of the new IEEE 802.16 standards will help both fixed and mobile network providers open up new market segments for Internet access, even in thinly settled areas. This wireless technology also is an advantage where it is impossible to run underground cables. This makes WiMAX an extremely practical supplement to technologies such as DSL and UMTS.

With the IEEE 802.16 standard, carriers are able to offer enterprise and end customers more options for broadband connectivity at a lower cost. For many people worldwide who cannot get access to broadband connectivity via cable or DSL, the new wireless technology will be their way to the Internet.

"Currently, wireless Internet service providers in the United States are using proprietary technology to set up broadband access on the last mile to the households of consumers," explains

Christoph Caselitz, President of Networks at Siemens mobile. "We therefore see great potential for a standardized access technology, particularly in this market."

"The Siemens announcement is very significant for WiMAX and for last mile broadband delivery. Their industry knowledge and systems integration capabilities will boost the adoption of WiMAX," said Sean Maloney, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Intel Communications Group.

Siemens understands the components of the cellular infrastructure and has many years of experience and a leading market position in the microwave business including Point to Multipoint solution for Mobile backhauling. WiMAX builds upon cellular as well as microwave technology and must be integrated in the existing cellular mobile telephony infrastructure. This gives Siemens, as a solution provider and system integrator, an excellent starting position to offer its customers an end-to-end WiMAX solution.

Siemens is a full-line supplier in the field of mobile communication, offering mobile phones, cordless phones, wireless modules and mobile infrastructure, as well as all radio and switching modules, consulting services and systems integration.

The WiMAX Forum promotes deployment of broadband wireless access networks by using a global standard and certifying interoperability of products and technologies.
