Fujitsu Announces BroadOne WX300 Wimax

Wimax seems to be like the proverbial dangling carrot. It’s always within reach, but frustratingly stays just outside of your grasp. For those of you who don’t know, WiMax is wireless with long access ranges. This would allow wireless bases to be set up that would serve a lot of users at once. Fujitsu just announced a nice, compact unit called BroadOne to fit the bill.


The really neat thing about this product is that Fujitsu plans to announced tiered range models. “Fujitsu plans to provide three new base station models designed for the 2.5GHz and 2.3GHz frequency bands. Configured as a single, lightweight unit, the BroadOne WX300 outdoor macrocell base station is designed for wide-area transmission over a radius of several kilometers. The WX300 model will be the first in the base station series to go on sale, with global delivery in the second quarter of 2008. The second model, a compact outdoor microcell base station, is designed for transmission over a several-hundred-meter radius to fill in areas with a lower concentration of users and remote areas with poor coverage. The third model is an indoor, ultra-compact picocell base station.”
