Mobile WiMax network is 5 times faster than 3G

The Xohm solution of Sprint Nextel (USA) allows products that support wireless broadband technology such as laptops and other handheld devices to operate at 4 Mbps.

In the WiMax World exhibition 2007, which opened today, September 25, in Chicago (USA), Technical Director Barry West of Sprint Nextel confirmed Xohm will be deployed in Chicago and Washington / Baltimore later this year and is expected will reach 100 million users by the end of 2008.

Device vendors also propose a number of hardware construction plans that will keep the wireless broadband signal unaffected by Wi-Fi connections. However, MobileAccess in Virginia (USA) has launched a WiMax module that can operate in parallel with both Wi-Fi and mobile networks.

Also in this exhibition, Motorola plans to show off its new technology on a boat in the middle of Lake Michigan.

"Mobile WiMax brings attractive services and connects more devices, from phones to laptops. In the future, it will even be used to consolidate Wi-Fi and ZigBee, " Tommy Russo, Director director of Akridge Real Estate Services in Washington, trust.

Craig Mathias, expert of Farpoint Group (USA), said that the mobile WiMax market has been formed with commercial services being developed and experts waiting for the success of this technology.
