The integrated Morpho Technologies 802.16e system solution is comprised of the new MS2 PHY communications engine, MT 802.16e SoftPhy software and MT 802.16e MAC software. The MS2 communications engine is ultra-efficient and reconfigurable. The solution enables adaptive algorithm selection (AAS), which can adapt the physical layer algorithms based on channel conditions, providing adaptive performance superior to traditional device architectures. Thanks to the platform's ability to be reconfigured, companies using the solution will also be able to track and incorporate evolving standards quickly and add new features easily. The solution is based on an upfront licensing model, with pricing subject to customer volumes and application requirements. It will be available in July, and can be licensed to companies looking to add WiMAX support to their existing wireless communication solutions and companies interested in developing stand-alone WiMAX product offerings.
