Motorola, Intel to Push WiMax Standard

Motorola has become the latest company joining Intel in order to push adoption of wireless broadband through WiMax. The two tech industry heavyweights will collaborate on the 802.16e specification within the WiMax Forum to ensure interoperability between devices.

Sprint and Nokia previously announced collaborative efforts with Intel, which makes the chips to be used in upcoming WiMax products. Motorola currently offers the MOTOwi4 line of devices for WiMax that include access points, PC cards and even in-vehicle safety devices and services. "We believe 802.16e is going to be the way to go for both fixed and nomadic applications," said Motorola Networks CTO Dan Coombes.
