As an important part of the WiMAX industry, terminals have become increasingly mature in terms of their equipment manufacturers, chip manufacturers, terminal manufacturers and operators, in recent years. In most commercial cases, it is the WiMAX equipment manufacturers who provide end-to-end solutions. Terminals, whether self-owned brand or OEM, are provided to the operators together. Therefore, the equipment manufacturers have contributed a lot to the development of the terminal industry. Some system vendors mainly rely on terminal products based on self-research, such as ZTE, Motorola, branded, Alvarion, etc; others usually adopt the terminals through cooperation with terminal manufactures, such as Alcatel-lucent, HW, etc.
On Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2009, these equipment manufacturers showcased diversified terminalsIn recent years, WiMAX terminal chip manufacturers have grown at a remarkable pace. Two pacemakers, Sequans and Beceem, have seen increasing shipment. Terminal chips such as Sequans SQN1130 and Beceem BCS200 have become mature enough to withstand large scale commercial network. With great achievements in first generation chips in the market, chip manufacturers are launching their second generation chips, such as BCSM250 and BCS5200 launched by Beceem, SQN1210 and SQN1220 launched by Sequans, Nelson Peak by Intel, GDM7205(2.5G) and GDM7213 (3.5G) by GCT, and WiMAX mobile phone chip MT7108 by MTK. These second generation chips are highly integrated, with remarkably reduced power consumption, supporting full-band frequency, applicable to data card, USB Dongle, CPE, MID, embedded notebook and WiMAX mobile phone, etc.further facilitating the development by terminal manufacturers and terminal diversification.
