Altair ALT2150 Mobile WiMAX Processor
Altair Semiconductor (Altair) recently released the ALT2150 mobile WiMAX baseband processor to leading handheld device and module manufacturers. The ALT2150 is the world’s smallest and most power-efficient mobile WiMAX processor. It implements full WiMAX Forum(tm) Wave-2 physical (PHY) Layer and Media Access Control (MAC) functionality, and offers substantial performance enhancements beyond this profile. The ALT2150 is the first in a family of chipsets from Altair designed to achieve excellent modem performance, while consuming a fraction of the power of any mobile WiMAX chipset available today.
