Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) and Teltonika are to collaborate to offer WiMAX operators a new and expanded range of WiMAX terminals. Teltonika, with R&D, production and support in Vilnius, Lithuania, will expand its wireless GSM, GPRS and HSDPA modules and terminals portfolio with new WiMAX terminals based on Fujitsu’s second generation WiMAX chipset and protocol stack. The first of these new terminals to come to market will be a triple-band half size PCI Express mini card, triple-band USB dongle and a desktop router. Further products in an on-going roll-out will include WiMAX video surveillance modules, WiFi / WiMAX routers and embedded M2M devices planned for later this calendar year.

Fujitsu is also working with Smile Telecoms to realize the world’s first WiMAX Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone and service for developing countries, enabled through the creation of an eco-system encompassing mobile carrier, handset, semiconductor and module partners. The two companies, with other partners, worked to produce a ground-breaking VoIP phone and service, which are set to revolutionise communications in developing markets by bringing affordable communications to underserved customers in Africa. This low-cost voice service is enabled through voice transmission over Internet Protocol (IP).  The first terminal will be a battery-driven desktop phone with Linux OS and simple user interface.  Based on the success of this partnership, more dedicated VoIP products including full mobile terminals using the same core technologies, will follow.
