Fujitsu Launches of Mobile WiMAX Base Stations

Tokyo, February 6, 2008 — Fujitsu Limited announced today the development of the BroadOne™ WX series of mobile WiMAX⁽¹⁾ base stations. The BroadOne WX300, an outdoor macrocell base station, is light, energy-efficient, and - as the smallest in its class⁽²⁾ - occupies less space, which makes it economical to deploy. The BroadOne WX300 will be available globally beginning in the second quarter of 2008 (April-June).

Fujitsu is positioning the BroadOne WX series mobile WiMAX base stations as a key part of its global product solutions for the rapidly emerging wireless broadband industry. Wireless broadband is widely expected to transform the way people live and work in the next-generation network era, as it promises high-speed, high-capacity connectivity to everyone, everywhere.

Fujitsu has designed its new base stations with many features to meet the global requirements for mobile WiMAX networks. The base stations consume low levels of power, deliver superior performance, and, as the smallest base stations available, are easy to install. As a result, mobile WiMAX service providers will be able to build their wireless broadband infrastructure at a lower cost and offer end-users service at more reasonable rates.

With the launch of the base stations, Fujitsu is also introducing its BroadOne brand name to be used for forthcoming wireless products.
