“Performance and ease-of-use are essential to motivate consumers to upgrade to higher performance wireless broadband technologies, “ Fred Wright, Motorola senior vice president, Cellular Networks and Broadband, said. “The CPEi 100 provides that experience and enables WiMAX operators to offer a home device that consumers can install and setup in only a matter of minutes.”
The CPEi 100 is part of Motorola’s portfolio of WiMAX 802.16e CPEs, and is part of the MOTOwi4 family of broadband wireless access products. It should be available in 2008 for WiMAX operators who have systems in the 2.5 GHz band.
A sample unit will be on display at the Motorola booth at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week.
Motorola’s wi4 WiMAX devices support fixed, portable, nomadic and mobile applications.
