Alcatel and C-DOT, the Indian Government's telecommunications technology development center, announced the inauguration of a new state-of-the-art "WiMAX reality center" in Chennai, India. This is the first lab of its scale entirely dedicated to WiMAX IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology in India. Hosted at the C-DOT Alcatel Research center, a global broadband wireless research and development center owned 51% by Alcatel and 49% by C-DOT, the lab will focus on the testing and development of pre-integrated customer-specific solutions. The strategy is to propose end-to-end solutions including low cost WiMAX CPEs suitable for the needs of India and other emerging markets, as well as to offer customized WiMAX infrastructure solutions for the existing networks. The WiMAX reality center includes an end-to-end architecture, comprising base stations, WAC (WiMAX Access Controller) and customer premises equipment, which demonstrates the benefits of WiMAX IEEE 802.16e- 2005 standard and showcases residential and business usages with Voice over IP, High Speed Internet access and Multimedia applications such as IPTV, Mobile TV and Video streaming. "The C-Dot Alcatel Research Center JV and its "WiMAX reality center" are now up and running. We have been working very hard for the last one year to gather resources and expertise, which made these major achievements possible. The WiMAX reality center reaffirms our commitment to the Indian telecommunications market," said R. Poornalingam, Chairman of C-DOT Alcatel Research Center. "We are now set to efficiently help our customers to launch their first WiMAX trial and commercial deployment in the Indian market so as to quickly reduce the digital divide between the urban and the rural areas of this country."
