Sprint PCS and Motorola today announced a partnership to test out so-called “WiMAX” technology and equipment trials through this year and into the next.
WiMax, the 802.16e technology, is planned to be heavily used by Sprint in the future.
“Sprint previously signed a related agreement with Intel as it begins to cultivate an ecosystem of chipsets, devices, equipment and infrastructure for future wireless broadband services. Sprint has provided broadband wireless (BRS) service in the past and continues to investigate potential offerings of interest to the marketplace.”
