Bureau Veritas ADT Developed Official WiMAX Radiated Performance Tests (RPT) Chamber

Bureau Veritas ADT developed WiMAX RPT chamber according to WiMAX RPT testing standard and provided this testing service since September 2008.

Explanation of WiMAX Forum certification profile: "Profile" v.s. "Wave 1 or Wave 2"

In WiMAX Forum's certification test, we use a "profile" to indicate a specific WiMAX product which operates at certain Frequency, Channel Bandwidth and Duplex Mode, instead of the term "wave1" or "wave2". The term of wave1 or wave 2 certification test has been removed at the beginning of 2008. The following list are some profiles which have been defined by WiMAX Forum. For the detail certification test items, WiMAX Forum also induces a concept of Certification Requirement Status List (CRSL) from Dec. 2007, and all certification tests should follow the latest CRSL version to perform the certification test.

Thailand developing WiMAX legislation

Thailand's National Telecommunication's Commission (NTC) is developing the country's WiMAX legislation and licensing terms, and should be ready to issue licenses next year.

The NTC has advised that the country shall likely adopt the 2.5GHz range, because preliminary testing results have revealed that the 3.5GHz range interferes with satellite transmissions.
