Why MicroMAX-SOC?
Based on the latest wireless technology ( )

Pay as you GROW

Low entry price Ideal for rural and CCTV applications Ideal to provide ADSL / CATV complementary services

Full flexibility for the operator:

BSR redundancy SDA redundancy Using different types of sectors (60 degree, 120 degree, 360 degrees etc)

24 October 2006

MicroMAX-SOC uses Sequans

Based on Sequans System on a Chipset (SOC) Can support up to 28 MHz channels (full duplex) Potential for growth

SOC initially optimised for IEEE802.16-2004

2nd phase will include an optimised 16e

SOC engine enables the MicroMAX-SOC to provide best cost/performance
