OREANDA-NEWS. December 10, 2007. Kyocera Corporation (Japan) has announced that iBurst, its 3.9G wireless broadband system, has been granted a Certificate of Conformance by the Russian Certification Authority, ANO "OSSET", effective September 14, 2007 (Registration No. OC-2-PD-0143).

The Certification declares that iBurst equipment, standardized as HC-SDMA by ANSI/T1P1, complies with the “Application rules for radio access equipment for wireless transfer of data within the range from 30MHz to 66GHz”, as prescribed by the Russian Ministry of Information and Communication.

Prior to this certification, wireless access equipment had been granted the frequency band of 1787.5MHz to 1802.5MHz by the Russian State Frequency Management Commission (SFMC), effective October 2006 (Registration No. 06-17-03-001).

The iBurst base station is classified as 3.9G equipment due to its high spectrum efficiency, which reaches a maximum of 7.3bps/Hz as compared to 0.7 to 2.0bps/Hz for 3.5G systems such as HSDPA. The iBurst system requires a frequency band of 5MHz for the total throughput of 32 Mbps; therefore, a maximum of three iBurst service operators can co-exist in each service area using the 15MHz band from 1787.5MHz to 1802.5 in Russia. As a result, iBurst offers a unique mobile solution for Russia’s expanding broadband market, which had 7.5 million users as of July 2007.
