Bureau
Veritas ADT can perform Fixed WiMAX Certification Testing Service
for 3.5GHz TDD mode from March 2008
Bureau Veritas ADT is now ready to perform formal Fixed WiMAX Certification
test (for 3.5 GHz, 3.5 M Hz, TDD). In Fixed WiMAX wave 2 certification
test, we will conduct Protocol Conformance Test (PCT), Radio Conformance
Test (RCT) and Interoperability Test (IOT). Compared with Fixed
WiMAX Wave 1 certification test, wave 2 certification induces many
test cases, especially in security and QoS functions.
Bureau
Veritas ADT can perform M-Taiwan Logo Certification Testing Service
from April 07, 2008
Regarding to M-Taiwan project, for any WiMAX devices applying to
M-Taiwan project, it 's necessary for those WiMAX devices to conduct
the "M-Taiwan Logo Certification Test" in a M-Taiwan Lab (Bureau
Veritas ADT has been selected as a M-Taiwan Lab by M-Taiwan Office
in 2006). In a "M-Taiwan Logo Certification Testing", M-Taiwan Lab
will perform conformance and interoperability tests defined by M-Taiwan
office, and a detailed test case list has been released by M-Taiwan
Office. After on site auditing by M-Taiwan Office on April 1st,
2008, Bureau Veritas ADT demonstrates its WiMAX test capability
and has been approved to perform formal "M-Taiwan Logo Certification
Testing Service" from April 7th, 2008.
Plan
to do Mobile WiMAX Certification Testing Service for 3A 2.5GHz on
May 1st, 2008
To accelerate 16e certification test (for 3A profile), the serial
training programs are held by WiMAX Forum CWG to transfer testing
technology to every WFDCL from April to May in 2008. Following the
schedule, Bureau Veritas ADT will provide formal 16e PCT & RCT pre-test
service from May 1st, 2008. And these test results are allowed to
apply to real certification test, which means vendors don't have
to re-test passed test cases again if they want to do a full certification
test.

WiMAX Forum Congress Asia 2008
WiMAX Forum Congress Asia 2008 held on April 9th and 10th,
has now closed with a great success. In addition to the comprehensive
agenda covering the most topical and timely issues, a trading show
was organized and offered a platform for vendors to showcase their
latest products and techniques. Bureau Veritas ADT, along with other
WFDCLs, had a booth to demonstrate our WiMAX testing and certification
services and attracted lots of vendors to visit. A frequently asked
question most visitors were interested in is when the mobile WiMAX
certification testing service will be available. At Bureau Veritas
ADT, we expect it will be available from May 1st. As for fixed WiMAX
and M-Taiwan logo certification testing services, they have been
available at our lab. top
