Kyocera's iBurst system has been field-proven by providing commercial services in more than ten countries worldwide. The iBurst-based technology was standardized as the IEEE802.20 - 625k MC mode in June 2008. Among other things, the iBurst system generates high spectrum efficiency of 32 Mbps total throughput per base station (24Mbps downlink; 8Mbps uplink) over just 5MHz* of bandwidth, which is crucial for feasible and economical MBWA rollout.
iBurst operators worldwide have formed the iBurst Association (iBA), a not-for-profit organization advocating the promotion and development of iBurst technology as a preferred MBWA solution.
*5MHz bandwidth is small enough to allocate in the GSM guard band.
