The event, cosponsored by Cetecom, ETSI and CATR, provided WiMAX equipment suppliers the opportunity to test and interwork their respective pre-certified products and equipment in advance of final certification.

Aperto Networks shipped its WiMAX product portfolio to the CETECOM certification labs in Malaga, Spain, in August. Aperto Networks' PacketMAX products will be among the first wave of WiMAX fixed network system products to be WiMAX Forum Certified—those that are certified as conformant to the standard and interoperable with other vendors' products.
