Adding Value For Network Operators And Integrators

San Diego, CA and Montreal, Canada – May 27, 2009 – Wavesat, Inc., a leading provider of 4G silicon solutions, today announced an expanded partnership with Proximetry, Inc. that will help wireless broadband operators and infrastructure providers enhance their service offerings and provide greater value to their customers. The companies’ enhanced efforts will focus on two main areas: first, a set of solutions for integrators of Wavesat’s WiMAX 802.16 technologies that address the emerging smart energy, public safety, and efficient transportation sectors; and second, the introduction of highly-granular, dynamic network management tools allowing the Wavesat Odyssey 4G multiprotocol chipset to excel in dense deployment topologies such as those found in picocell and femtocell deployments.

Proximetry’s AirSync software platform is the basis for the value-added service offerings. AirSync provides ODM’s and systems integrators with a flexible set of tools to build higher-performance, mixed protocol (WiMAX, LTE, XGP, WiFi), wireless network solutions. The collaboration also will result in a new set of software reference platforms and services to support Wavesat partners in accelerating their time-to-market for the resulting service offerings.

For WiMAX 802.16d solution providers, the partnership with Proximetry will provide immediate benefits by enhancing software support for the Wavesat DM256 and NP7256-based product lines. Under the Agreement, Proximetry will provide integrated software solutions, including AirSync-enabled basestation MAC, subscriber station, and performance monitoring agents, to Wavesat licensees. In addition, Proximetry and Wavesat have developed new pricing models to align better with solution provider success and time-to-market objectives. Specific emphasis is being place on accelerating solutions in the energy and defense/public safety segments.

In support of the more recent Wavesat Odyssey chipsets, the companies are collaborating to introduce software reference platforms for advanced picocell and femtocell solutions. These new software solutions are well suited for hardware partners looking to take advantage of mixed-protocol wireless networks (including WiFi) and/or deployment topologies which leverage “underlay” networks of picocells or wireless repeaters.

“The key to our wireless broadband market success has been our end-to-end support of the ODMs, the integrators, and the network operators who put our technology into the hands of their customers,” said Raj Singh, Wavesat President and CEO, “Proximetry brings important tools and support capabilities that enhances the value of our 4G wireless chipsets at each of these stages.” “We are very enthusiastic about extending our cooperation with Wavesat,” said Tracy Trent, Proximetry CEO, “these new solutions address user and application performance needs on advanced wireless networks and is a tremendous opportunity for both companies. The coupling of AirSync’s dynamic performance management features with Odyssey’s programmable 4G multimode architecture will enable very innovative product opportunities at breakthrough price points.”

Initial Odyssey-based solution demonstrations and technology presentations are planned during the week of June 1st, during the upcoming Computex tradeshow in Taipei Taiwan. More information pertaining to these sessions can be obtained from the company websites.
