Is the WiMAX Forum on track to meet its target goals for certifying equipment?
The WiMAX Forum has gained significant momentum over the past two years, particularly since mid-2004, when the organization established mid-2005 as the target date for launching the WiMAX Forum Certified program. Since that time, WiMAX Forum profiles were selected, the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard was completed, silicon manufacturers began sampling their products and the test lab was selected. The preparation of the test lab is the final step before launching the certification program. The WiMAX Forum is confident that testing will begin in July 2005, which is on target with the projections set by the Forum many months ago.
