This milestone achievement is important as it shows the commercial readiness of WiMAX equipment and chipsets in preparation for the timely launch of Sprint’s Xohm™ Mobile Broadband Service, which is expected to begin during the 2^nd quarter of 2008.

“This accomplishment is more significant than others in that it shows how Beceem’s chipset and team perform under intense pressure and scrutiny,” said Shahin Hedayat, CEO of Beceem. “It is very satisfying to be first to achieve this milestone together with some of the leading WiMAX infrastructure providers, and is the latest evidence that Beceem’s extensive field experience positions us well as a key enabler of the WiMAX terminal ecosystem.”

“We are extremely pleased to see that Beceem has validated initial interoperability of most of the key features for Xohm’s 2008 launch,” said Bin Shen, vice president, Broadband, Sprint. “The achievement is a very encouraging sign for the launch of our Xohm Mobile Broadband network and service in 2008, and we appreciate the tremendous support we are getting from Beceem in meeting these milestones.”
