Demo platform claims world's smallest WiMAX solution

Coresonic AB's LeoCore WiMAX personality pack and associated firmware is designed to enable WiMAX connectivity to be added to any new chip design, such as media processors for digital cameras, application processors for UMD devices and other products, with just 1.5sq mm of additional silicon in a 65nm semiconductor manufacturing process. The personality pack provides the RF interface through FEC to CPU interface for the MAC layer.

Coresonic's solution is available for license as semiconductor intellectual property and firmware, and the FPGA-evaluation platform is available for onsite demonstration or purchase. The demo system runs at 80MHz, enough to perform 5MHz single antenna WiMAX channels as well as other standards such as WiFi. For more information, visit www.coresonic.com
