Envisioning 4G: WiMAX Gets Some Positive Buzz December 13
The Chicago Tribune features an article that imagines the future of 4G in America; a world in which video conferences can be accessed via mobile devices and cameras and iPods can be used to share images and music with others in real time.
WiMAX is included among these idyllic images of America’s technological future. LTE and WiMAX were naturally expounded upon as the two great 4G contenders. According to the article, WiMAX is seen as having a greater presence simply because it is being developed sooner than LTE. Sprint, Verizon, Motorola and Samsung are all mentioned, with a particular focus on Motorola, who is “conducting 40 WiMax demonstration trials worldwide and has signed 13 contracts for commercial service.” To see an article in a mainstream paper highlighting WiMAX as an up and coming technology is a great sign for the industry and great for inspiring interest in a technology that remains somewhat unknown among the average American tech user.
