Motorola Details WiMAX Progress


Motorola says it increased to 15 the number of contracts for commercial WiMAX networks and demonstrated the historic first live mobile WiMAX 802.16e handoffs between continuous WiMAX cells supporting voice, data and multimedia applications during WiMAX World USA in Chicago.

The company also increased to more than 57 the number of WiMAX engagements in 38 countries worldwide, including 44 active trials.

Motorola says it is on track to support the Sprint Xohm soft launch in Chicago by year end 2007 and is on schedule with deployment for the planned commercial launch in the second quarter 2008.

The company also says it has completed the deployment of the first 802.16e commercial WiMAX network in Pakistan for Wateen Telecom and has completed the first phase deployment of two additional commercial WiMAX systems in France and Germany.

Senza Fili Consulting says WiMAX is due for some growth.
