Briefs: PMC says device meets FCC WiMax rules

February 16, 2006

A Canadian company says its new digital pre-distortion engines are the first in the industry to meet stringent FCC requirements for WiMax applications.

PMC-Sierra this week unveiled it Paladin 10 and 15 Digital Pre-Distortion (PDP) engines and touted them as the first to demonstrate compliance with FCC performance requirements.

"Our ability to migrate our proven DPD solutions to the demanding WiMax standard will enable customers to be first to market with low cost WiMax products," said PMC Vice President Robert Yung.

WiMax offers wireless access to broadband and is seen as "the next wave in wireless technologies," said Yung.

The FCC's 04-258 WiMax standards are similar to those used for pre-distortion in cell phones only are much more stringent so that the signals are clean and free of distortions that can foul up Internet traffic.
