PMC-Sierra expanded its WiMax RF IC solutions with four new multi-band devices to its WiZIRD line for global spectrum coverage. The new devices enable WiMax system designers to leverage a single radio design to provide customer premises equipment and network interface cards for all popular broadband wireless radio bands for WiMax deployments.
PMC-Sierra added the following software compatible devices to its WiZIRD portfolio: the PM8850, which has two transmit and two receive branches (2Tx/2Rx) with multi-band support for 2.3 to 2.9 GHz, 3.3 to 3.8 GHz and 4.9 to 5.95 GHz; the PM8851, which has one transmit and two receive branches (1Tx/2Rx), with multi-band support for 2.3 to 2.9 GHz, 3.3 to 3.8 GHz and 4.9 to 5.95 GHz; the PM8870, a 2Tx/2Rx with multi-band support for 2.3 to 2.9 GHz, 3.3 to 3.8 GHz and 450 to 928 MHz; and the PM8871, which has 1Tx/2Rx with multi-band support for 2.3 to 2.9 GHz, 3.3 to 3.8 GHz and 450 to 928 MHz.
