The WiMAX Forum is talking up the European Commission's decision to allow both TDD and FDD on the 2.6 GHz (2500-2690MHz) frequency band. The 2.3, 2.6 and 3.5 GHz frequencies are key bands for Mobile WiMAX technology, explains the Forum, and allowing both Mobile WiMAX (using TDD) with FDD-based cellular …

The frequency division duplex (FDD) version of mobile WiMax has taken a big step toward approval by the WiMAX Forum, Unstrung has learned. According to documents seen by Unstrung, a recommendation for an FDD profile for three different frequency bands was made to the WiMAX Forum's technical working group at a meeting last week. The document specifies

I'm listening to a presentation on LTE-TDD, highlighting the close integration between FDD and TDD branches of the technology. The underlying assumption in the industry is that it's wonderful that we might have, for once, a single global standard for wireless networks, albeit in two "flavours". The subtext (or sometimes explicitly stated position) is that alternatives like WiMAX are thus...

The 2.3, 2.6 and 3.5 GHz frequencies are key bands for Mobile WiMAX technology and will contribute to providing suitable spectrum for WiMAX.

The WiMAX Forum has commended the European Commission on the completion and publication of an important new regulation relating to the 2.6 GHz (2500-2690MHz) frequency band. The 2.3, 2.6 and 3.5 GHz frequencies are key bands for Mobile WiMAX technology.

The WiMAX Forum and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) today announced at CTIA 2009, a cellular trade show in Las Vegas, a jointly developed roadmap to a unified “4G” standard. The “4G Forum” would create a single International Telecommunications Union standard, world-wide. The incompatible Mobile WiMAX and LTE standards would then evolve

According to consulting company Frost & Sullivan, despite the fact that many mobile operators consider standard LTE advanced through the development of their networks and some of the key WiMAX Forum members have changed their attitude towards mobile WiMAX, LTE standard implementation will not be easy, analysts believe the international consulting company Frost & Sullivan. As shown by a recent... [

Motorola’s WiMAX solution enables highly reliable and scalable communications services for Pacific island nation SUNTEC, Singapore (WiMAX Forum Congress Asia 09) – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced today that it has been selected by Unwired Fiji to design and deploy an end-to-end 802.16e-based WiMAX network to upgrade and provide increased capacity to the operator's existing network for... ...

I recently chatted online with representatives of the Wi-Fi Alliance, the WiMAX Forum and the GSM Association in an effort to understand how enterprises will apply emerging mobile broadband services going forward. With a quarter-million Wi-Fi hot spots worldwide, it's my take that Wi-Fi could become the default, pseudo "mobile WAN" of choice for the masses of traveling executives. Obviously, ...

Singapore: Motorola recently demonstrated the first handoffs between public WiMAX access points (at the WiMAX Forum Congress Asia 2008). The demo was enabled through a mobile WiMAX network set up at Motorola's facility in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore. Attendees were able to experience various mobile applications including video conferencing, web browsing and mobile streaming while moving
