Motorola wins WiMAX World Europe award

Motorola has won the WiMAX World Europe 2007 Award for the CPEi 200/300 series WiMAX desktop unit in the Devices Category.  The awards recognize leaders in the development and deployment of WiMAX technologies.  Nominations were open to exhibitors and sponsors of the WiMAX World Europe Conference held May 29-31, in Vienna, Austria, and selected by a judging panel of experts from the WiMAX community.

The Motorola CPEi 200/300 series desktop customer premise equipment (CPE) offers a WiMAX solution that delivers fast, reliable, high-speed wireless Internet connectivity.  Customers benefit from easy installation with “plug-and-play” functionality and the CPE employs multiple antenna technology, which delivers increased range, and higher throughput, when compared to products with single antenna solutions.

In addition, the CPEi 300 series offers customers the ability to make Voice over IP (VoIP) calls enabling the CPE to be used for both data and voice connectivity, hence providing a new revenue stream.

Eliot Weinman, president of Trendsmedia, the events and publishing division of Yankee Group that produces WiMAX World Conferences & Expos, and Mike Saxby, group publisher of xchange magazine, presented the awards in six categories.

“xchange is pleased to acknowledge Motorola’s contributions to the development and promotion of WiMAX technology and services,” said Saxby.

“WiMAX success is dependent upon sustained innovation of companies that will no doubt be rewarded in the marketplace but also deserve recognition by the community it supports.”
