Another Day, Another WiMAX Deal
Posted on March 20, 2008 by Mari Silbey
While I was off playing in DC, Motorola officially added to its tally of WiMAX deals. Yesterday came news of a trial in Thailand, the first successful mobile WiMAX trial in the country. Today came word of a WiMAX infrastructure contract in Saudi Arabia.
LTE may be the media darling of wireless technologies at the moment, but the WiMAX deployments continue to roll.

WiMAX deployments will continue to increase as 2008 promises to be a big year for the technology and with LTE still years a way from deployment. WiMAX service providers around the globe are beginning to offer 4G mobile broadband services and rich media to broadband hungry consumers. With the increasing popularity of mobile entertainment and more sophisticated handheld devices this spells “Big Money” for the industry. And service providers and equipment makers can start to capitalize on these advanced services using WiMAX in 2008 with Beceem’s industry leading Mobile WiMAX terminal chips. Beceem has set mobile WiMAX speed records with its chip, and is the only chip provider that is working with all of the major infrastructure OEM’s in the mobile WiMAX market. http://www.beceem.com
