Nortel quits the mobile WiMAX game

Posted in: Today's Chili, WiMAX

Sure, Clearwire is still busily rolling out its mobile WiMAX network across the US, but the fledgling wireless standard isn’t having the best time of it lately — Nokia just discontinued the N810 WiMAX Edition, which was easily the highest-profile WiMAX product on the market, and now Nortel is closing down its entire mobile WiMAX division. Considering Nortel’s struggle to stay afloat in our super-awesome economy, the move isn’t too shocking — but at least Nortel partner Alvarion is working to pick up the pieces, so hopefully the impact on the broader WiMAX market won’t be too huge.
