PCIe mini cards and embedded modules are becoming more popular with consumers and business users alike. These modules seamlessly integrate with hardware devices, turning laptops and other popular products into full-scale wireless communication machines. Now users can get all the benefits of a home office or even a media room anywhere there is a WiMAX infrastructure.

Full-length, full-screen movies and television programs can be watched in the back of a speeding taxi with the same clarity and transfer speed of a cable landline. Users can either download the movie in seconds or watch it in real time without affecting their hard drive space. The same concept applies to the radio (satellite, online, over-the-air) - the laptop/modem-enabled device becomes the ultimate jukebox thanks to streaming audio and lightening-fast downloadable songs. And real-time videoconferences are finally possible as geography and connection speeds are no longer an issue.

But delivering WiMAX to module systems can result in energy consuming chips that demand a lot of real estate. And that's where Beceem solutions are different. They offer unprecedented performance yet consume minimal power and require minimal space. That means our partners gain remarkable flexibility when designing their products, regardless of the ultimate application.
