San Jose, CA, July 8, 2010 - GCT? Semiconductor, a leading supplier of Mobile
WiMAX™ solutions to the global market, today announces that its mobile WiMAX
single-chip, GDM7205, is the key component that enables the world's fastest
hotspot device manufactured by Infomark. With GCT's advanced 4G chip, this
hotspot device recently announced by the lead US WiMAX operator, offers a unique
feature allowing users to operate in a "USB-tethered mode," where the device can
function as a WiMAX USB dongle-like device.
With numerous design-wins
worldwide, GCT's GDM7205 continues to be the leading ODM and operator choice for
enabling advanced WiMAX devices. GCT's GDM7205, designed into numerous devices
commercially available today, is a high performing single-chip which reduces PCB
design complexity, offers low power consumption and provides a small form factor
to optimize mobile WiMAX implementation.
"True to our design philosophy
of GCTMobility™, GCT's GDM7205 is market-proven in Japan, Korea, Russia,
Malaysia, US, and many other WiMAX markets, and offers the industry's lowest
power consumption, highest throughput, and best handover capability for mobile
applications," commented Dr. Kyeongho "KH" Lee, President and CEO of GCT
