Beceem’s BCS500 4G modem splices WiMAX as well as LTE into asingle chip, sampling after this year
When you were told marketplace research forked to WiMAX and LTE standards for 4G connectivity coexistent, we didn’t design they’d do it quite so closely. Beceem, a builder of the WiMAX chips inside “each device in Clearwire’s network,” is operative upon a 4G modem that can hoop both WiMAX and LTE, with a combined extra of being able to pierce seamlessly between the two networks in order to find a best signal probable. A mashup of a two standards creates clarity in light of all a equivocation from Clearwire as well as Scurry upon the theme of which one they’d prefer, and would be the more than acquire simplification of our common 4G future. At any rate, a ultimate development is that Beceem and Motorola have been working to span the BCS500 to a latter’s WiMAX 4G infrastructure, with the initial dual-mode chips set to begin sampling “later this year” and hit mass prolongation in early 2011.
