Sprint’s WiMAX TV Posted by samc on January 8th, 2007 Sprint Nextel announced its plans for large scale WiMAX deployments today at CES. Sprint partners are previewing WiMAX mobile devices during the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show while Sprint TV service partnerMobiTV demonstrates WiMAX mobile TV. Sprint’s WiMAX MobiTV can insert advertising related to video content. For example, while a user is watching one of MobiTV’s music videos channels, a button will appear alongside the video allowing the user to purchase a ring-tone, wallpaper or concert tickets for the corresponding artist. Sprint Nextel intends to launch Mobile WiMAX broadband services in initial markets, this year with at least 100 million people under their umbrella by year-end 2008. Sprint’s mobile WiMAX plans include: * The Chicago and Washington D.C. areas have been chosen as initial WiMAX service areas with additional markets to be identified based on market-readiness estimates; * Nokia was named a key infrastructure and consumer electronic device supplier; * Motorola announced a strategic initiative to develop mobile WiMAX chipsets for use in Motorola’s next-generation WiMAX devices; * Samsung has committed to delivering six WiMAX-capable devices (including Ultra mobile PCs and personal media players); Samsung also plans to enter the WiMAX chipset business; * Intel completed the design of a single-chip, multi-band WiMAX/WiFi chipset that it will sample in card and module forms in late 2007; * LG Electronics Inc. intends to develop an infotainment device that would work on the Sprint Nextel WiMAX network; The intent is to wirelessly enable the multitude of stand-alone consumer electronic devices that currently lack connectivity or Internet access. Sprint says it hopes to make “4G broadband mobility” pervasive and indispensable for customers. .... dailywireless.org TM
