There is a constant growing demand for wireless technology for industrial automation, smart grids, sensor networks, rural connectivity and in terrestrial defence networks for tactical communications, where broad band link is to be established over unlicensed spectrum or white spaces. WiMAX as a technology is filling most of such wireless network demands. Most of these applications require a technology which is proven and affordable. WiMAX system with its simplicity in core network is finding its application in these areas. With its vast engineering background in Wireless Communications, Lekha understands the end customer requirements of such applications and has the necessary expertise to take the solution to deployment. Lekha’s Mobile Station Solution is a complete Hardware and Software solution developed on a low powered System on Chip (SoC) device which helps ODMs/OEMs to develop hand held or vehicle mounted mobile station. The MS solution is designed considering low powered battery operation with support for all the power saving classes. Ideal for ruggedized high power modems on SDRs, required in mission critical, defence and M2M kind of deployments. The solution is ready for manufacturing and deployment. It is fully compliant with IEEE802.16e-2009 Mobile WiMAX specification. The solution is WiMAX Forum’s Wave 2 certifiable. MS is interoperated with leading WiMAX BS solutions.
