Promentum® WiMAX BaseBand Card IOT
Interoperability between devices from different vendors that can combine the working system is extremely important in case of new telecommunication technologies. This is also true for new and still developed WiMAX technology. It is necessary to assure that WiMAX equipment from different vendors can work with each other and create a complete WiMAX solution. Intel prepared a set of Interoperability Test Configurations (IOT Configurations) of its WiMAX Base Station. The tests verify that the WiMAX Base Station can be successfully deployed using radio units and CPEs from variety of vendors.
WiMAX Baseband Card is the hardware platform that is used by vendors as a building block for development of their own Base Station solution. Therefore the IOT described here is rudimentary and useful primarily for a development environment. Base Station vendors should perform their own IOT to ensure compatibility with a wider range of CPE’s and validate performance of their solution.
