Motorola is showcasing its latest WiMAX solution, the CPEi 300, during the WiMAX World USA show in Chicago this week.

The new CPEi 300 Series is a desktop consumer device that provides wireless broadband connectivity; it features one data port for data-centric operations and two analog terminal adaptors (ATAs) so end users can plug in analog phones for VoIP service. The WiMAX CPEi 300 is scheduled to be available to operators in Q4 2007.

"As a global vendor of WiMAX solutions, Motorola has designed a versatile portfolio of access points, customer premises equipment, chipsets, services and devices that addresses the varying wants and needs from operators around the world," Fred Wright, senior vice president responsible for Motorola's Home & Networks Mobility WiMAX business, said in a statement. "The CPEi 300 is an entry-level, reduced cost device that provides fixed, wireless broadband connections to bandwidth intensive, rich media applications, voice, data, and video services."

Motorola's WiMAX CPEi 300 Series desktop CPE is fully compliant to the IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology standard and will be delivered for WiMAX Forum certification to ensure interoperability among the global WiMAX ecosystem.
