Alvarion and Huawei Join WiMAX Patents Group
Alvarion and Huawei have joined the Open Patent Alliance (OPA) - which manages the WiMAX patent pool. Alvarion and Huawei join current OPA members Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Clearwire, Intel, and Samsung Electronics.

Furthermore the WiMAX patent pool may act as a "one stop shop" where companies building WiMAX solutions can obtain use of the patents more simply, efficiently and cost effectively, under a more competitive royalty structure that charges only for the features required to develop WiMAX products. more
