"The capacity and coverage benefits of combining beamforming with MIMO are very compelling offering up to double the capacity with twice the coverage of non-beamformed systems," said Sai Subramanian, Navini's vice president of product management. "This Alliance ensures broad availability of CPE devices that have full capability of beamforming and beamformed MIMO." However Eric Stonestrom. the CEO of rival WiMAX vendor, Airspan Networks , commenting on Navini's acquisition by Cisco told iTWire that "beamforming is not at the forefront of the WiMAX forum certification process. MIMO is what everyone is taking about." The SMART Alliance says it will publish a system performance baseline for the mandatory SMART antenna features adopted by the WiMAX Forum for Mobile WiMAX. |
