Abstract :
Sprint Nextel has announced its plans to develop and deploy what it claims will be the first 4G nationwide broadband mobile network. The 4G wireless broadband network will use the mobile WiMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave access) IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology standard. Working together with Intel, Motorola and Samsung, Sprint Nextel will develop a nationwide network infrastructure as well as mobile WiMAX-enabled chipsets that will support advanced wireless broad band services for computing, portable multimedia, interactive and other consumer electronic devices
