Alliance aims for marriage between WiMAX
        and Linux
      Fujitsu and Hopling Technologies are aiming to enable faster and smoother integration of the WiMAX baseband system-on-chip into a Linux-based wireless equipment environment.
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME), Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA) and Hopling Technologies have further enhanced their working relationships by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the mutual goal of enabling faster and smoother integration of the WiMAX baseband system-on-chip (SoC) into a Linux-based wireless equipment environment Under the terms of the new agreement, Hopling Technologies and Fujitsu will use Hopling Technologies' Linux software expertise and Fujitsu's WiMAX reference design kit to create a Linux-based Hopling board support package; this package will accelerate deployment of Linux-based WiMAX solutions among equipment manufacturers
