06/10/2003 - SiWave becomes principal member of WiMAX Forum
Ottawa, Canada – Tuesday, June 10th, 2003 – SiWave Corporation, a developer of broadband wireless semiconductor technologies, today announced that it has become a principal member of the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Forum (WiMAX) to deliver and globalize the 802.16 broadband wireless standard.

WiMAX certifies and promotes interoperability standards for broadband wireless access devices using the 802.16 wirelessMANTM specifications. 802.16 is the first broadband wireless standard from an accredited standards body (IEEE) that leverages next-generation technologies to optimize point-to-multipoint (PMP) fixed wireless networks. The first certified products are expected to enter the market by mid-2004.

“WiMAX’s efforts are bringing this new generation of technology to the forefront of the broadband wireless industry,” said Dr. Henry Wong, Chief Technology Officer, SiWave Corporation. “Working with WiMAX, chipset developers will be able to provide leading equipment vendors with a flexible and affordable option to ensure the interoperability of their products. SiWave is excited to be contributing to the wide scale deployment of 802.16 within this growing market.”

SiWave is developing fixed wireless burst modem technologies for PMP broadband wireless access network architectures. Based on its expertise in ASIC and modem development, SiWave’s patent-pending modem technologies will leverage the 802.16a standard for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communications operating at 2-11 GHz.

“The success of the broadband wireless market will be realized through the cohesive efforts of industry players to ensure the interoperability of multi-vendor products,” said Margaret LaBrecque, WiMAX President. “We welcome SiWave to WiMAX and applaud their commitment to developing technologies that will advance the globalization of 802.16. The broadband wireless market will soon reap the benefits of improved and increased bandwidth access deployments.”

As a member of the forum, SiWave will take an active role in promoting the initiative. With this membership SiWave is well positioned to continue its product development and secure Series A financing.

“We are happy to be involved in these efforts and to be working with the industry to promote interoperability among broadband wireless technologies,” said Hanni Bagnordi, President, SiWave Corporation. “As a growing company with an aggressive development plan, the opportunity to work with other industry leaders will be tremendously beneficial.”
