RNE200MC - Mini Card

Overview
Runcom's RNE200MC is a Wave II MIMO WiMAX Mini-Card reference design that is based on Runcom's RNA200 SoC. The RNE200MC uses USB interface over PCIe to enable Runcom's customers to create IEEE802.16e solutions based on WiMAX/WiBro profiles and beyond.

The Mini-Card can be used as a modular solution to be embedded within laptops or UMPC. Additionally, the RNE200MC can be used as a modem reference design to an on-board host processor in a handheld device or fixed CPE/RG.

Each of Runcom's reference design provides everything you need to develop a commercial product, including: manufacturing files, device drivers and full WiMAX software. These reference designs have been implemented and manufactured by various Original Design Manufacturers (ODM's) worldwide and work seamlessly with leading ecosystem partners. Additional enablers are automatic calibration tool, monitoring software package and Runcom�s mobile base-station unit that can be used as a tester (RNU2000N).

Applications, Usage and Benefits

The RNE200MC enables ODM's & service providers the following benefits:

• Seamless evaluation of Runcom�s chipset in an IEEE802.16-2005 environment
• Fast time-to-market and shorter development cycles for ODM's by copying the mass production ready reference design's manufacturing files
• Faster rollout with certified ready and IOT confirmed with Tier-1 base-stations vendors
