The WiMAX Forum opened a lead certification lab at AT4 Wireless in Spain for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) certification testing and evaluation of Mobile WiMAX products.

WiMAX Forum vendors may submit 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz mobile WiMAX equipment for testing, said the WiMAX Forum.

The WiMAX Forum said four other certification labs in the U.S., Taiwan, China and Korea will open for formal Mobile WiMAX certification testing shortly.

Equipment that passes conformance and interoperability testing will receive WiMAX Forum certified designation.

Throughout 2008, service providers are expected to expand Mobile WiMAX deployments to broader populations in their regions, according to the WiMAX Forum. More than 300 operators in more than 65 countries deployed Mobile WiMAX pilots and trials.

As Mobile WiMAX deployments continue to grow in size and scope in 2008, the WiMAX Forum said it will also open new certification labs in India and Taiwan to address the demand for equipment certification.

Based on the proliferation of certified equipment, the WiMAX Forum will conduct additional product interoperability activities for new Mobile WiMAX profiles and features such as testing for the planned certification for 3.5 GHz and 700 MHz profiles and core network certification in 2008.
