Motorola bus tour brings some good news for WiMAX
A live demo of mobile WiMAX was successfully presented by Motorola at a sold out trade show in Singapore this week, not long after it announced completion of a successful trial of the technology in Thailand.
Show-goers taking a bus tour at the WiMAX Forum Congress Asia reportedly experienced Web browsing, video conferencing, and other wireless applications while moving past Motorola 400 access points (APs) along the route, with mobile hand-off between the APs. Motorola provided backhaul to its facility in Singapore over its wireless IP equipment.
Meanwhile, at the end of March, Motorola announced completion of a mobile WiMAX trial, conducted in Thailand with partner UIH under government permission, to help assess WiMAX as a way of boosting Internet penetration rate that currently stands at only 15% in Thailand.
