CPqD will launch its WiMAX Forum Certification service in 2010 to provide WiMAX Forum Certification for fixed and mobile products
WiMAX Forum® announced today that it has selected CPqD, a research and development center, to manage the first WiMAX Forum Designated Certification Laboratory (WFDCL) in Brazil in the second half of 2010. This laboratory will be part of WiMAX Forum's global initiative of establishing and operating such centers in key telecom markets, and will help ensure that Brazil's huge market demand for broadband Internet is satisfied.
"Brazil's ecosystem is strategic to the success of WiMAX technology, and we are committed to meeting the needs of our member companies as the demand for certification increases in Brazil," said Dr. Mo Shakouri, WiMAX Forum Vice President. "WiMAX devices and networks have the most extensive certification and interoperability testing in the industry in place to guarantee network performance and consumer satisfaction. Further, operators around the world are lining up to require that WiMAX products become certified prior to introduction to their network to ensure interoperability," added Dr. Shakouri.
"Today, CPqD has the largest testing lab for communication equipment in Latin America. We certify over 100 types of equipment and make more than 700 tests accredited by Inmetro for certification purposes. Some of these tests involve products based on WiMAX technology and meet the requirements of the Telecommunications National Agency (Anatel)," said Iran Lima Gonçalves, CPqD business manager. "Now, with the WiMAX Forum's support, we will expand our lab infrastructure to serve Brazilian and international WiMAX equipment vendors who want to become certified by this global organization," he added.
WiMAX Forum CertifiedTM equipment provides operators with a powerful platform to roll out advanced services and applications across a wide range of devices. Establishing the Certification Laboratory in Brazil will enable WiMAX equipment vendors in Brazil to accelerate the certification process targeting the local market.
The Brazil lab complements the WiMAX Forum's current network of six WFDCL's in China, Korea, Spain, U.S. and two in Taiwan to handle the continued certification demand. The WiMAX Forum also plans to open a certification lab in Malaysia in 2010.
Products achieving WiMAX certification go through rigorous testing to ensure they meet the interoperability and conformance to standards of the WiMAX Forum. WiMAX is the only technology to certify base stations and terminals to ensure that interoperability is carried across all levels of the WiMAX network when WiMAX Forum Certified products are used in a deployment. The WiMAX Forum forecasts that more than 1,000 products will undergo Mobile WiMAX certification testing by 2011, representing an influx of new consumer devices and infrastructure equipment to support continued rapid WiMAX user adoption in the 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz, and 3.5 GHz frequency bands.

Printable version |
|
The winners of the Metering International's Latin American Excellence Awards for 2009 were announced at the 7th Metering, Billing/CRM Latin America last week.
In the advanced metering category the winner was Sabesp, the water utility of São Paulo, for its Telemedição advanced meter reading project. The project was initiated to address a range of issues, including customer communication and leakage and fraud detection, with a focus on the 3,880 large customers accounting for approximately 20 percent of the company's billing (R$82 million or US$47 million). Among the results, the system has led to savings of around 732,000 m3/year of water - sufficient to supply 14,000 people for a year.
In the revenue protection category the winner was the Rio Grande utility RGE (part of the CPFL Energia group) for its project "technology applied to revenue protection." The project, which was initiated in early 2005, has involved the development of a smartphone-based application (initially Palm, later changed to Windows Mobile) as well as other modules for the company's management system for the management of revenue protection activities in the field. From January 2005 to August 2009, more than 0.5 million field inspections were managed electronically through the system, resulting in the detection of more than 80,000 metering irregularities.
In the customer service category the winner was CELG, the state-owned utility of Goiás, for its commercial management system CELG-Billing. CELG-Billing is a modern open architecture management system integrating customer relationship and care, billing, collection, accounting and meter management, with the CRM module forming the key pillar of the solution, enabling the various customer processes to be streamlined and automated. With around 2.75 million customer interactions in the call center per annum the mean time of service is 3.2 minutes.
The 7th Metering, Billing/CRM Latin America and collocated Smart Grids Latin America took place in São Paulo, Brazil from October 19-21, 2009. |
