ADAPTIX use WiMAX radio frequency (RF) transceivers from Maxim Integrated Products to power the RF capabilities of the ADAPTIX SX-series mobile WiMAX terminals. The SX family of mobile terminals is designed to support mass-market deployment of mobile WiMAX by carriers and operators.

“With the new Maxim RF chipset, the ADAPTIX SX-series mobile WiMAX terminals will offer carriers a high-performance, cost-effective means of deploying mobile WiMAX,” said ADAPTIX vice president of marketing and product management Byron Young. “We’ve chosen to work with Maxim’s technology due to its excellent RF performance in fixed and mobile applications.”

With its third-generation SX series of CPEs, ADAPTIX serves carriers and operators looking to offer Mobile WiMAX 802.16e service, which is designed to provide customers with access to wireless broadband coverage and a host of applications, including voice-over IP (VoIP) over WiMAX and mobile IPTV. ADAPTIX’s SX-300, which is smaller and lighter than a typical travel hard drive, supports full 802.16e functionality, provides approximately 4 Mbps of aggregate airlink performance and is available in either 2.3 GHz or 2.5 GHz profiles.

The ADAPTIX SX-500 mobile terminal incorporates a high-performance OFDMA engine with standards-compliant 802.16e-2005 software. The SX-500 mobile terminal is ADAPTIX’s performance leader and can be used in fixed, portable or vehicular applications. With options for MIMO and Smart Antenna upgrades, the SX-500 is designed with business wireless broadband applications in mind.
