"Wireless networking options, including WiMAX and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE), are discussed as future technologies. Technically considered pre-4G technologies both are being considered heavily for the next step in wireless technology by competing companies. Brighthand news articles and forum posts often talk about future wireless networking standards, but not everyone is familiar with these.The two leading candidates for the next generation of wireless are known as Wireless Microwave Access, or WiMAX, and 3GPP Long Term Evolution, usually called just LTE."(source:techtarget.com) read more |

"Mobile operators may be counting on LTE (Long-Term Evolution) technology to offer high-speed mobile data access in coming years, but WiMax services will arrive first, promising to shake up the wireless data market in the process. WiMax offers high-speed Internet access over a wide area and comes in two versions, a fixed-wireless version and another for mobile. The technology, often likened to Wi-Fi on steroids, has two advantages over LTE: it's available today and is free from the hefty royalty charges required for 3G (third-generation) mobile devices and equipment. By comparison, LTE has another two to three years to go before it can be deployed and, because the radio uplink uses CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), device makers will have to pay substantial royalties to Qualcomm."(source:pcworld.com) read more |

"Sprint and Clearwire have combined their WiMax businesses to form a new venture that will be focused on next generation broadband services. The company will be backed by $3.2 billion from the likes of Intel, Google, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. This new venture, which will be called Clearwire, gives WiMax better footing as a next-generation 4G wireless network. WiMax is a technology that has been supported by Intel and other technology heavyweights, but was hampered because the primary carriers–Sprint and Clearwire–lacked the financial heft to roll 4G services out."

"Along with Nokia, Intel is developing a technology with which a person could continue listening to Internet radio or watching online video without a disruption in service. Intel (NSDQ: INTC) on Monday demonstrated technology that could make it possible someday for a mobile Internet device to switch between a Wi-Fi and a WiMax network without any disruption in service. The technology, unveiled at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, stems from a research partnership between Intel, handset maker Nokia, and Nokia Siemens Networks. The last is a network communications company formed in 2006 with Nokia's former Network Business Group and the carrier-related businesses of Siemens. " (source:informationweek.com) read more |

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., February 6, 2008 - From a mobile operator perspective, mobile WiMAX or 802.16e provides more of a service complement, than a competitive threat, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). The mobile standard for WiMAX, has been the subject of debate since its inception, the high-tech market research firm says. Mobile operators and vendors have disputed how this technology will impact their existing operations. The debate can be broken into two camps.
“One camp led by select equipment vendors with no stake in WiMAX has taken an either/or approach to discussing mobile WiMAX,” says Daryl Schoolar, In-Stat analyst. “Any gain by WiMAX comes at the expense of other 3G data technologies. In the other camp, infrastructure vendors like Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, and Nokia Siemens see a world where multiple mobile wireless broadband technologies will co-exist. In-Stat believes that the latter camp’s view will prevail.”
