Multimode reference design platform ‘unparalleled’

The CM1125RD is an optimised multimode mobile WiMax / GSM-Edge smartphone reference design platform, also integrating WLAN, BT, FM radio and GPS connectivity. Randall Schwartz, principal consultant of Wireless 20/20, said: "With numerous real network rollouts of WiMax technology this year, the availability of dual mode devices will be very important. Not only operators with both GSM and WiMax operations, but WiMax operators in countries with significant GSM coverage will need dual mode devices to provide advanced data and voice services in both their initial coverage areas. The Comsys solution has the performance and long battery life to enable form factors for end user devices." Comsys Mobile's director for WiMax product marketing, Ehud Reshef, added: "Comsys Mobile is committed to providing a complete solution around the ComMax line of baseband processors. CM1125RD is the latest in a series of platforms developed for OEM/ODMs, following our ComMax evaluation board and ExpressCard/34 reference design. The platform will facilitate OEM/ODMs efforts in meeting the market's increasing demands for handsets and smartphones supporting mobile WiMax/GSM-EDGE."
