Worldmax Starts Mobile WiMAX Pilot in the Netherlands

Motorola has been selected by Worldmax to install a pilot 802.16e WiMAX network in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For the test network, Motorola is providing Worldmax with WiMAX equipment such as WiMAX Access Points (the WAP 400 series) and PC cards. The deployment is planned for Q1 2007 and will allow Motorola and Worldmax to assess full mobility services and the performance and commercial effectiveness of the solution.

Jeanine van der Vlist, CEO Worldmax comments: "Personal broadband is the next step in satisfying the dependency and demand for broadband internet access - it will enable our customers to access broadband services on the go. We have chosen a mobile WiMAX solution from Motorola in order to validate its technical and operational performance ahead of a wider roll-out and service launch."

To date, Motorola has announced four WiMAX contract wins and is participating in 23 WiMAX trials globally."
