Nokia announced Tuesday that it has completed a data call in its WiMAX development program as the cell phone and infrastructure manufacturer examines the nomadic and portable mobility features of its WiMAX (802.16e) development program.
“This is an important step in our WiMAX development work, and we are very encouraged by the results,” said Nokia’s Markku Hollstrom in a statement. He is the firm’s general manager, broadband wireless business program, networks.
A founding member of the WiMAX Forum, Nokia dropped out of the Forum briefly in the spring of 2004, only to return and promote the technology aggressively.
