Communication Class Drivers for WiMAX
WiMAX technology is increasingly being adopted for applications such as mobile broadband and stationary networks. These applications leverage its speed advantage over HSDPA/UMTS solutions and its enhanced mobility, compared to Wi-Fi solutions.
WiMAX chips are beginning to be integrated in new laptop designs as a built in feature. However, there is a growing need to support current laptops that lack this feature. To support these laptops, WiMAX enablers provide external devices (dongles) with a WiMAX chip connected to the laptop via USB. These dongles are exposed to the operating system as a modem or network adapter, providing seamless and transparent network connection to the user.
USB provides an expandable, Plug and Play interface that ensures a standard, low cost and low power consumption connection for peripherals, making it ideal for use with power sensitive computers like laptops and PDAs.
DriverCore for USB WiMAX devices supports the specific USB connectivity needs of manufacturers of WiMAX SoC, reference designs, dongles, and gateways.
