Nortel and Toshiba announced an agreement for the joint development of mobile WiMAX base stations for Japanese and global markets. The base stations will be based on Nortel’s next-generation broadband wireless technology and Toshiba’s high-efficiency amplifier and miniaturization technology. The base stations’ radio module will be developed by Toshiba. Nortel will develop the digital module for the base stations. The companies plan to offer a range of small, power efficient and cost effective WiMAX base stations.
Nortel and Toshiba have jointly participated in the Japanese government’s next-generation wireless trial using WiMAX solutions, and successfully completed the trial service provision in the Tohoku region of northern Japan during December 2006 to March 2007.
