The adoption of 802.16-2004 IEEE standards for fixed broadband wireless access and the WiMAX™ interoperability test has set up the base for a reliable, cost effective and volume driven broadband access for metropolitan and rural area networks. Already, powerful ASICs and RFICs are available on the market place from a diversity of industry - technology leaders and the broadband standardization development pace continue as IEEE and WiMAX are now addressing 802.16e; the next evolution covering mobility.

Many industry experts are asserting that WiMAX is disruptive enough to make a major and sustained impact in the fixed and mobile broadband access industry in term of performance and cost. Market wise, analysts agree that fixed WiMAX access including backhaul applications should reach 20 million lines by 2009 while WiMAX fixed and mobile infrastructure shipment should sustain a global $8 billion business by the end of the decade.

As a leader in cost efficient radio subsystems, TSI identified WiMAX potential and associated semiconductor industry innovation very early in the standard development process and leveraged these benefits in the design of a new point to point - backhaul radio subsystems.

TSI's objective is to provide radios with WiMAX cost and performance advantage along with a full duplex configuration at a fraction of comparable proprietary technologies.

Trackcom Systems has developed wideband flat panel antennas for WiFI, WiMAX, MMDS, MDS and WCS bands. Broadband MMDS/MDS/WCS Transceivers have been developed for loct high volume systems.
