The winner will be announced May 20 during the Best of WiMAX World EMEA Awards presentation hosted by Eliot Weinman, conference co-chair and president of Trendsmedia, the events and publishing division of Yankee Group that produces WiMAX World Conferences & Expos, and Mike Saxby, group publisher of xchange. Awards also will be given to outstanding WiMAX technology innovators in five additional categories. All winners will be featured in the July issue of xchange as well as on the WiMAX World and xchange Web sites.
“xchange congratulates the finalists in this contest,” said Mike Saxby, group publisher of xchange. “The Industry Choice nominees are among the best and brightest in the field, showcasing the rapid advancement of WiMAX technology.”
Eliot Weinman, conference co-chair added, "We are excited about this prestigious and objective awards program and the innovation represented by its nominees."

The Axis remote radio heads come in versions for both 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz WiMAX applications, with 2 transmit and 2 receive channels for MIMO capability, at either 10W or 4W output power. They have been designed to operate with OBSAI and CPRI open standards, and feature programmable Tx/Rx signal bandwidths up to 20MHz. The RRH, and the innovative software that drives them, are already enabling WiMAX services to be delivered in the USA, Asia and Europe, with state-of-the-art power efficiency performance that helps network operators to minimise CAPEX and OPEX.
Finalists were selected by an independent judging panel, including Craig Mathias, principal, Farpoint Group; Will Strauss, principal analyst, Forward Concepts; Adlane Fellah, CEO and founder, Maravedis Inc.; Caroline Gabriel, lead research analyst, Rethink Research; Philip Marshall, vice president of enabling technologies, Yankee Group; and representatives from xchange and Trendsmedia.
