Nationwide 4G Wireless Broadband Initiative Announced

Sprint Nextel Corp. yesterday announced plans to develop and deploy a fourth generation (4G) nationwide broadband mobile network. The 4G wireless broadband network will use the mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology standard.

Working together with Intel, Motorola and Samsung, Sprint Nextel says it will develop a nationwide network infrastructure as well as mobile WiMAX-enabled chipsets that will support advanced wireless broadband services for computing, portable multimedia, interactive and other consumer electronic devices.

The Sprint Nextel 4G mobility network will use the company’s 2.5GHz spectrum holdings, which cover 85 percent of the households in the top 100 U.S. markets — claimed by the company to be the most of any wireless carrier in any single spectrum band.
