WiMAX's First Ever Certified Products

The initial certification is granted to the newly WiMAX products by the WiMAX Forum that utilizes IEEE 802.16-2004 standard.  Some of the renowned companies involved in the manufacturing of these products such as Redline Communications, Aperto Networks, Wavesat and Sequans.  These products were tested in Spain at WiMAX Forum certification lab which was inaugurated in mid July 2005. According to the industry resources many companies are in a queue to get the certification for their products from the WiMAX Forum Certification Lab.

These certification gives benefits to the customers who buy the certified products are assured for the compatibility of the products with other devices.  As we can see from the market that most of the manufacturers launched their products without getting any certification from the WiMAX forum, and they have already produced their individual pre certification products.  From over the last few years WiMAX is still one of the most awaited technology in the market but on the other hand there are some other factors that moving upward in very slow pace as compare to other competing mobile technologies.
