Overview

Runcom's RNE200PC is a Wave II MIMO Mobile WiMAX PCMCIA reference design, which is based on Runcom's RNA200 SoC. The RNE200PC uses a PCMCIA interface to enable Runcom's customers to create IEEE802.16e solutions based on WiMAX/WiBro profiles and beyond.

The PCMCIA can be used as a modular solution for laptops and modular modules for residential gateways. Additionally, the RNE200PC 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 designs provide 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 (ODMs) worldwide and work seamlessly with leading ecosystem partners. Additional enablers are automatic calibration tool, monitoring software package and Runcom's mobile base-station unit (RNU2000N), which can be used as a tester.

Applications, Usage and Benefits

The RNE200PC 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 ODMs by copying the mass production ready reference design's manufacturing files
• Faster rollout with certification-ready and IOT-confirmed with Tier-1 base-stations vendors
