Fujitsu Microelectronics America Inc. (FMA) teamed up with Cisco to present a multivendor demonstration of interoperable video streaming using mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Inc. (WiMAX) with beamforming and multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) capabilities.

Fujitsu demonstrated video streaming using the Cisco BWX8300 WiMAX base station and the Fujitsu customer premise equipment (CPE). Multiple video streaming and FTP files were wirelessly transferred between the Cisco WiMAX base station and the Fujitsu universal serial bus (USB) dongle.

Fujitsu also featured commercial products developed by the its original design manufacturer (ODM) partners, which are powered by the Fujitsu mobile WiMAX chipset.

The chipset includes the Fujitsu MB86K21, a one-chip media access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) mixed signal baseband system-on-chip (SoC), and the MB86K71 radio frequency (RF) module, which incorporates an RF integrated circuit (IC), antenna switches, a power amplifier, filters and an oscillator circuit.

Another live demonstration featured a Fujitsu base station transmitting real-time video from a Web camera linking the base station and the CPE.

According to Fujitsu, the interoperability demonstration with Cisco showcased how adaptive beamforming with MIMO technology is implemented on a mobile WiMAX ( IEEE 802.16e) network.

It's estimated that WiMAX systems with adaptive beamforming will double system capacity while offering up to twice the coverage of simple WiMAX networks in a fully mobile setting, Fujitsu said.
