SUNNYVALE, CA February 14, 2008 Maxim Integrated Products (Pink Sheets: MXIM) introduces the MAX2838, the industry's first single-chip WiMAX RF transceiver in high-volume production. This device eliminates the costly SAW filter and extra VCO circuitry required by existing superheterodyne solutions, thus saving 50% BOM cost, significant component count, and board space. Ideal for low-cost, 802.16d/802.16e WiMAX CPE products operating in the 3.3GHz to 3.9GHz band, the MAX2838 enables affordable wireless broadband services in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China), as well as in Western Europe, Australia, and Canada. |
