Azimuth inks WiMAX test deal with Samsung
Acton-based wireless testing equipment maker Azimuth Systems Inc. says it has been selected by Samsung Electronics to provide performance-testing equipment for the South Korean company's Mobile WiMAX product line.
Financial terms of the deal were not provided.
Azimuth's ACE 400WB emulates multipath characteristics with channel correlation to determine the effect of multiple channel radio-frequency interactions to predict the performance of wireless products in a real-world environment. The device also tests interoperability among different types of implementations from multiple vendors, making it viable for future WiMAX deployments, officials said.
Multiple-input, multiple-output communications systems, called MIMO, are considered by many to be the foundation for the next generation of mobile WiMAX products.
Founded in 2002 and backed by $31 million in private investment since that time, Azimuth counts a number of big-name customers among its client base, including Broadcom Corp., Cisco Systems Inc., Motorola Inc. and T-Mobile Inc.
