The article offers information on how to determine the radiated performance testing (RPT) and the total radiated power (TRP)of mobile WiMAX devices. It mentions the Mobile WiMAX promises wireless data connections of 10 to 15 megabits per second in a typical cellular radius which exceeds from the capabilities of 2.5-3G wireless networks. It suggests that the wireless mobile station must be connected to the base station emulator (BSE) and made to transmit uplink packets at full power to simulate usage at the edge of the link in order to determine the TRP.

The article discusses the impact of radio proliferation in the mobile device market. The author stated that the addition of Wi-Fi radios provides hi-speed and low-cost Internet access for additional applications on smart phones. In addition, Wi-Fi service can also be used for viewing Internet sites and with an addition of an appropriate client application, it transforms a data-centric device into a voice device without using the cellular network. Moreover, networks that are finding their way into personal and mobile devices include Wi-Fi radios, broadcast receivers and WiMAX radios.
