Samsung Electronics Provides Mobile WiMAX Equipments to the U.S. Army’s R&D Center
Over the next few months, Samsung Electronics and the U.S. Army’s CERDEC will evaluate Mobile WiMAX technologies at the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) On-The-Move (OTM) experimentation facility located at Ft. Dix, New Jersey. Experimentation and analysis will focus on leveraging commercially available Mobile WiMAX technologies in a mobile military environment in lieu of the customary commercially fixed infrastructure.
Engineers at CERDEC will measure the performance of the Mobile WiMAX products in an environment consisting of both mobile users and mobile base stations. Mobile WiMAX is an attractive technology to the Army for its affordability and quick access in a relatively short period of time.
“Mobile WiMAX brings a variety of opportunities in the way people communicate. We are very excited to provide and introduce Mobile WiMAX technology to the U.S. Army, who could have a variety of unique implementations,” stated Kwansoo Lee, Executive Vice President of Telecommunications Systems Division. “Mobile WiMAX continues to expand globally - and Samsung will, at every step of the way, open new doors of opportunity.”
