SR Telecom Announces Development of WiMAX 802.16 Solution Using
Analog Devices' TigerSHARC Processor SR Telecom's OFDM expertise
and ADI's signal processing leadership create powerful partnership
for WiMAX base station solutions MONTREAL, June 22
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SR Telecom(TM) Inc. (TSX: SRX; Nasdaq:
SRXA), a pioneer in OFDM Broadband Wireless Access Solutions, today
announced that it is collaborating with Analog Devices Inc.
(NYSE:ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for
signal processing applications, for the development of its 802.16
(WiMAX) base station solutions. SR Telecom's WiMAX base station
will incorporate ADI's TS201TigerSHARC(TM) processor for the
execution of the 802.16 physical layer (PHY). SR Telecom conducted
a comprehensive review of available solutions for its WiMAX PHY and
concluded that the ADI TS201 is a perfect fit for the signal
processing demands of both 802.16-2004 and 802.16e base stations.
ADI's commitment to the WiMAX market and its demonstrated expertise
in digital signal processing solutions were the other key factors
in the decision. "With this important collaboration, we will be
able to produce reliable, feature-rich and future-proof solutions
for the global WiMAX market, and help to ensure that the promise of
WiMAX is fully realized," said Pierre St-Arnaud, SR Telecom's
President and Chief Executive Officer. "ADI is very pleased that SR
Telecom has adopted the TS201 TigerSHARC processor for its WiMAX
base station solution," said Jerry McGuire, General Manager, Media
Platforms and Service Group, Analog Devices. "Based on our customer
feedback, there is a strong demand for more complete solutions for
the WiMAX infrastructure equipment market. SR Telecom is uniquely
positioned to provide a WiMAX base station because of its extensive
real-world experience with NLOS OFDMA deployments. The adoption of
the TigerSHARC processor in the early stages of the WiMAX market
enables customers to benefit from the high performance and
flexibility offered by the TigerSHARC Software Defined Radio (SDR)
solution." SR Telecom's symmetry(TM) product line was the first in
the industry to incorporate the advanced technology specified in
the 802.16 standards. This technology includes OFDMA, DL/UL
sub-channeling, DL/UL closed-loop power control, adaptive
modulation up to 64 QAM, adaptive beam steering, TX and RX
diversity (Space Time Coding and Maximum Ratio Combining), FEC,
Hybrid ARQ, collision free multiple access data MAC, QoS for voice,
modem/fax relay, dynamic channel allocation, and advanced bandwidth
shaping. Moreover, symmetry's design allows it to realize the full
potential of this advanced technology by including the vast
majority of IP in software (including the airlink physical layer
using digital signal processing technology), and by featuring a
sophisticated suite of network management system tools that allow
for complete visibility into the performance of the products. The
ability to measure real world performance, to innovate, and to
rapidly incorporate these innovations in software has led to the
unprecedented airlink performance of the symmetry solution. SR
Telecom's OFDM technology has been successfully deployed by ILECs
and large CLECs in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific,
North America, and South America. About SR Telecom SR TELECOM (TSX:
