Nortel (News - Alert) will introduce an innovative WIMAX solution that will help wireless networks cope with the demand for mobile video and other high-bandwidth services. The company has plans to showcase the solution at WiMAX World Europe 2007, May 29-31 in Vienna, Austria.
"The diversity of new devices and applications requiring not just connectivity but significant bandwidth as well creates a complex and daunting challenge," said Peter MacKinnon, general manager, WiMAX and Wireless Mesh, Nortel and chairman, LG-Nortel in a statement. "But, it also offers a game-changing opportunity to enhance business productivity and enrich the lives of consumers. Nortel's end-to-end WiMAX solution addresses the key issues of WiMAX devices, ability to guarantee quality of service, and the driving down of OPEX (News - Alert) costs. Our WiMAX ecosystem includes MIMO technology expertise and power-efficient base stations that are instrumental in providing service providers with a simplified approach to seizing the WiMAX (News - Alert) opportunity."
Nortel's WiMAX World Europe exhibit will feature "Next-Generation Mobile Broadband Services" delivered via an end-to-end mobile WiMAX solution including base stations, core network elements, network management, mobile devices, IMS, and video-enabled multimedia applications.
Nortel will demonstrate show how to simplify and optimize network operations with its next-generation MIMO Base Transceiver Stations, among the smallest in footprint but packed with capacity and flexibility. The company will also showcase cost-efficient, scalable and reliable Metro Ethernet backhaul solutions for WiMAX that leverage the latest innovations in Carrier Ethernet networking, including Provider Backbone Transport (PBT).
