In a recent article, titled Motorola accelerates cutbacks and defends WiMAX Stand, Dan Molony president of the Home and Network Mobility unit claims:
“…the company will focus most of its activities on converged broadband and ‘4G’, and will carry out projects in all three of its chosen technology platforms during 2009. The strategy gains some credibility from the dominant position that Motorola has in the newly merged Clearwire operator, the world’s most ambitious WiMAX-based mobile broadband plan. The vendor has 25 commercial WiMAX systems running so far, in 20 countries, and has trials and other projects in 49 countries.”
These are good news for WiMAX, as a major vendor reaffirms commitment to Technology while disclosing some information regarding active deployment. Those are 25 commercial Mobile WiMAX systems.
