SySDSoft Announces General Availability of Licensable MAC-Layer SW for WiMAX Mobile Stations

WiMAX World, Boston, MA. – October 10, 2006 - SySDSoft, a leading provider of embedded software for the wireless broadband market, will unveil its flagship WiMAX/Wibro mobile station (MS) medium access control (MAC) solution with a demo on display in the SySDSoft booth #16 at the WiMAX World Conference and Expo, October 10-12, 2006 at the Boston World Trade Center.

SySDSoft introduces a WiMAX/Wibro-compliant MAC supporting the 802.16e Standard to chip manufacturers and OEMs/ODMs wishing to integrate an enhanced mobility WiMAX MS MAC into their portable device applications.

“Mobile WiMAX is a revolutionary new market, and we are very excited about the opportunity to build on our expertise in fixed WiMAX, and offer our customers the ability to integrate a feature-packed, high performance mobile WiMAX solution into their offerings.” said SySDSoft’s CEO, Khaled Ismail.

SySDSoft's MAC incorporates all standard 802.16e/Wibro requirements as well as additional features for enhanced handover and radio resource utilization. Mobility is provided through optimized handover mechanisms, scalable multi-class scheduling, and provisions for efficient power consumption. The integration with the customer’s physical layer (PHY) and preferred HW/RTOS platform is simplified by decoupling the MAC architecture from PHY and RTOS. The flexible architecture of SySDSoft's MAC supports optimal hardware/software partitioning for enhanced performance.

The solution is based on an upfront licensing model, with pricing subject to volumes and customization requirements. A reference design kit and technical support are immediately available to companies wishing to incorporate a WiMAX MAC solution into their integrated system-on-chip (SoC) or to port it onto their dedicated hardware.

SysDSoft will be exhibiting at booth #16 in the main Exhibition Hall. Members of the press interested in meeting with a SySDSoft executive at the WiMAX World may contact:
