HTC has launched the MAX 4G, the only WiMAX 4G handset on the market today.
Slight snag though, it’s just for Russia right now on their Scartel network.
When will we see the handset elsewhere? Well, when other places have rolled out a WiMAX network we guess and is capable of supporting such a beast.
Think of the [...]
If you’re living in the Radford, Forest Fields and Haddon Park areas of Nottingham, you’ll shortly be serviced by a rather wicked WiMAX network, courtesy of Nottingham University.
Ostensibly the network is a pilot — aimed at connecting students, teaching staff, business and local residents. The network launches on the 29th of September (the day, [...]
Last week, I invited the Mobile Industry Review audience to pose questions to Mr Operator. For the benefit of those new to Mr Operator — the series is written by a chap working high up in one of the world’s international mobile operators.

Some highlights I plucked from his piece this morning:
“Over at Intel, someone else (possibly at the same long lunch) piped up and said “Great idea guys, here’s several Billion dollars, hop to it”. And lo, the WiMax [...]
Continue ReadingThat’s four people and Unstrung who have mentioned a UK WiMax entrant hunting for spectrum in the UK.
Ye plot, it doth thicken, M’Lord.

That’s certainly plausible, but if you’re inclined to entertain conspiracy theories, this one is good: Spectrum refarming is not the issue. T-Mobile and the other [...]
Could this really be the green light we’ve been waiting for? It looks like, after all the delays and to-ing and fro-ing with partner Clearwire, Sprint’s WiMax network is finally ready for take-off.
Sprint said that it’s now finished commercial testing of its Xohm network, alongside buddy Samsung, and the WiMax network is now meeting [...]
After Intel and Google’s WiMax antics earlier this week it looks like Sweden is next in the chipamker’s sights. The Scandinavian country awarded four “mobile broadband licences” this week - and Intel is confirmed as one of the lucky winners.
According to AP, it paid around $26 million for its WiMax licence which will go for [...]
It looks like there’s life in US WiMax yet. US providers Clearwire and SprintNextel have agreed to combine their WiMax networks into a new company, under the Clearwire brand.
