Nortel Networks Ltd. unveiled a mobile MIMO-powered WiMAX solution Tuesday at WiMAX World.
Operators will be able to deliver video-grade content for as little as one-tenth the cost per bit of current 3G wireless networks, the company said, with three times the speed and twice the subscriber capacity with greater range and building penetration in urban areas compared to non-MIMO WiMAX solutions.
The vendor said the solution is designed to provide the lowest total-cost-of-ownership model for operators, allowing them to deliver new revenue-generating applications with minimal investment – while creating opportunity for new entrants to compete in the wireless content delivery business.
The portfolio will operate in the 1.5GHz, 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz frequencies, and is comprised of base station transceivers, access service network gateways, connectivity services networks, mobile subscriber stations and network management systems.
