Intel: 'We're not blinking on Wimax'
LTE looks set to dominate 4G, but Intel said it’s not backing down on Wimax and that it still has a role to play in mobile broadband development. With most of the world’s cellcos committed to LTE proponents argue that Wimax is a niche player in the 4G story that will never achieve the scale of GSM. “The answer is not in the technology, but the business model and the economies of scale, and Wimax simply cannot compare to the scales that HSPA has already achieved and will build on with LTE,” said Alan Hadden, president of the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) at the Next Generation Broadband Forum summit at CommunicAsia.
