Motorola Wins WiMAX World Europe Award in Devices Category
VIENNA, Austria, May 31 /- WiMAX World Europe -
xchange announced today that Motorola has been selected to receive the WiMAX
World Europe 2007 Award for the Motorola CPEi 200/300 series WiMAX desktop
unit in the Devices Category. The awards recognize leaders in the development
and deployment of WiMAX technologies. Nominations were open to exhibitors and
sponsors of the WiMAX World Europe Conference, being held May 29-31, in
Vienna, Austria, and selected by a judging panel of experts from the WiMAX
community.
The Motorola CPEi 200/300 series desktop Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)
offers a WiMAX solution that delivers fast, reliable, high-speed wireless
Internet connectivity. Customers benefit from easy installation with "plug-and-play" functionality and the CPE employs multiple antenna technology, which
delivers increased range, and higher throughput, when compared to products
with single antenna solutions. In addition, the CPEi 300 series offers
customers the ability to make Voice over IP (VoIP) calls enabling the CPE to
be used for both data and voice connectivity, hence providing a new revenue
stream.
The award was received by Motorola's director of WiMAX global marketing,
Hossein Parandeh, who commented: "We are delighted to be honored in these
prestigious awards. It is testament to the innovative design, high quality
and feature-rich CPEi 200/300 series of WiMAX desktop units. As a leader in
WiMAX, Motorola is pioneering the end-to-end WiMAX experience, from the radio
and core network infrastructure through to the end-user devices."
Motorola received the award last night during the WiMAX World Europe
Conference at a reception following the close of the first day's convention
sessions. Eliot Weinman, president of Trendsmedia, the events and publishing
division of Yankee Group that produces WiMAX World Conferences & Expos, and
Mike Saxby, group publisher of xchange magazine, presented the awards in six
categories.
"xchange is pleased to acknowledge Motorola's contributions to the
development and promotion of WiMAX technology and services," said Saxby.
"WiMAX success is dependent upon sustained innovation of companies like
Motorola that will no doubt be rewarded in the marketplace but also deserve
recognition by the community it supports."
"Yankee Group would like to congratulate Motorola on winning this year's
device award," said Weinman. "This award demonstrates Motorola's place among
the leaders of the WiMAX industry, and we look forward to seeing their future
innovations."

Concepts; Adlane Fellah, CEO and founder, Maravedis Inc.; Caroline Gabriel,
