| Protocol Stack software development: Polaris Networks is using its expertise in the WiMAX area to develop the 802.16e MAC Protocol Stack software. Polaris’s WiMAC-e software, currently under development, is an extension of its 16d protocol stack. WiMAC-e has been architected to be a fully portable MAC layer with built in management and other related tracking software (for use in billing and other services). This software will run in embedded operating systems (such as Linux, VxWorks, and Windows) and support both Base Station and Subscriber Station operations. Initially the software will be released with Intel chipset, and the work will continue to support other chip sets as well. The MAC Convergence will have support for Ethernet VPN, IP and ATM. Polaris’s service includes porting the WiMAC-e to a vendor specific platform. |
| Support and Maintenance Services: Polaris Networks also provides services related to maintenance of existing products through bug fixes and routine enhancements. This also extends to supporting customers in the field with training and installation. |
