Sprint Says Mobile WiMax Is Ready To Launch In 2008

New York (dbTechno) - Sprint has come out and stated that the tests carried out in Baltimore and Washington D.C. to test out WiMax have been very successful. They confirmed that WiMax is on schedule to launch in 2008.

The tests were carried out by Sprint and Samsung to test out the mobility as well as speed of mobile WiMax.

Sprint continues to work hard to build up its Xohm mobile broadband Internet service. This service is going to support the mobile WiMax standard.

Xohm president Barry West stated “The collaboration with Samsung and our partners has created a WiMax ecosystem that has now proven that it can deliver this new technology to the marketplace well ahead of any feasible alternative. This is a major step towards launch readiness.”

Though mobile WiMax is new, many believe that it could become a huge hit in the U.S. once it is rolled out.
