MaxBand is the world's first future-proof technology that unites WiMAX (802.16-2004 or 802.16d) and Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/e/h/i/p) on a baseband/MAC processor. Utilizing sub-channelization, MaxBand's innovative design is able to deliver wireless connections comparable to wired networks' speed and reliability to any 802.16 and 802.11 network. Utilizing RDW’s proprietary  RDW-16e-OFDM-Enhancement Technology, the IC is much less complex than that of OFDMA, and offers MIMO support, a lower gate count, efficient power consumption, and a lower cost. MaxBand's multimedia-concentrated QoS engine is perfect for real time multimedia streaming over wireless broadband.
