Scope of WiMax

• Equivalent in purpose to Wi-Fi Alliance for
  802.11
• Based upon market requirements, reduced the
  breadth of the standard so that Baseline
  Inter-Operability can be achieved / assured
  between Vendors Carriers
• Multi-vendor process to create Certification
  tests
• Based upon ISO/IEC 9646 process
• Host Plugfest Inter-Operability events among
  vendors
• Enable Certification on a worldwide basis
• Provide WiMax - Certification

17
WiMax Certification

• WiMax Certification
• 3rd Party validation testing - Guarantee of
  quality
• Service Provider choose from multiple vendors
• Multiple sources for WiMax hardware reduces risk
  of product availability for deployments
• Interoperability amongst WiMAX-certified Base
  Stations and Subscriber Terminals
• Backward compatibility with 802.16 IEEE stacks
• Innovative Time-to-Market solutions with a
  stable, standards-based PHY design
• WiMAX WiFi Comparative Certification
• WiMax Certification is more involved than WiFi
• WiMAX equipment used in Carrier environment
• WiMAX tests for Conformance
  Inter-Operability
