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 technologies like GSM and LTE,

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

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.

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...

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... ...

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

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

The WiMAX Forum has announced the first ten mobile WiMAX products which have received the WiMAX Forum-certified seal of approval for the 2.5 GHz profile (titled MP05). The announcement includes four base stations and six mobile station modules operating in the 2.5 GHz frequency band from eight WiMAX Forum member companies, including Airspan Networks, Alvarion, Beceem Communications, Intel, Motorol

This year has been labeled a "make or break" year for mobile WiMAX and, as we hit the mid-point, there's no denying the positive buzz. The WiMAX Forum just managed to pull off its first global trade show. Mobile WiMAX certifications embracing technologies such as MIMO are rolling in. ... - Peter Jarich, Research Director, Current Analysis
