Rosedale 2 - Intel's next-generation Wimax silicon device

Intel's next generation WIMAX silicon device, codenamed Rosedale 2, was selected by the world's top 10 WiMAX equipment vendors to offer new generation solutions for WiMAX networks. Rosedale 2 is a system device on a low-cost chip and supports IEEE 802.16-2004 and IEEE 802.16e-2005 standards, enabling the creation of WiMAX modems for both fixed and mobile networks.

Rosedale 2 will take advantage of mobile WIMAX networks that are widely deployed in the world by infrastructure providers such as Alcatel. As part of an extensive collaboration program to accelerate the deployment of mobile WiMAX networks, Rosedale 2 is part of Alcatel's global Interoperability Testing Program.

Source: presence-based devices Rosedale 2 -based devices are therefore expected to be seamlessly compatible with Alcatel's Universal WiMAX (802.16e-2005) solution, which basically supports mobile usage models. , mobile and fixed sale.

In addition, all existing customers of the fixed solution that Intel introduced earlier, Intel PRO / Wireless 5116 wireless modem (codenamed Rosedale), include Airspan Networks, Alvarion, Aperto Networks, Axxcelera Broadband Wireless, Proxim Wireless, Redline Communications, Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices and SR Telecom all plan to offer Rosedale 2 WiMAX solutions. Because they are fully compatible with pins with wireless modem Intel PRO / Wireless 5116, Rosedale 2 will provide an easy upgrade capability for customers.

Intel is committed to working with its customers to offer faster and more cost-effective wireless Internet access solutions through the use of WiMAX networks. With Rosedale 2's ability to support two network modes, Intel hopes to help accelerate the deployment of WiMAX networks.

Rosedale 2 is capable of supporting mobile networks and is designed to allow device manufacturers to develop their modem products from fixed applications to mobile applications with one upgrade. Simple software. With devices using Rosedale 2, service providers can immediately choose to deploy a mobile WiMAX network or deploy a fixed WiMAX network for the time being and then easily and effectively upgrade to mobile network.

Rosedale 2 is a new addition to Intel's highly anticipated product for mobile WiMAX solutions including a mobile WiMAX PC card device and a multi-band Wi-Fi / WiMAX radio device with a single chip, codenamed Ofer, was released earlier this year.

Rosedale 2 is currently being offered to customers.
