(InfoWorld) - Sprint Nextel has given WiMax technology a green light, becoming the first major U.S. carrier to back WiMax for its fourth-generation (4G) wireless data network. The third-largest U.S. mobile operator plans to start rolling out the WiMax network in late 2007 and hopes to reach as many as 100 million people with the service by the end of 2008. Offering downstream speeds of 2M bps (bits per second) to 4M bps, WiMax promises new power for bandwidth-hungry applications like mobile videoconferencing and large enterprise file transfers. With 4G, enterprises will be able to buy guaranteed throughput from a carrier, something they can't do with 3G, said Tad Neeley, an analyst at Gemini Partners Inc. For example, if a company paid for 1.5M bps upstream and downstream, remote employees could count on that speed no matter how busy the network was. Hardware partners Intel Corp., Motorola Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. will equip notebook PCs and a variety of mobile devices to use Sprint's 4G network. The 4G service will complement Sprint Nextel's 3G EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) services, executives said. The carrier already offers video, music and other multimedia services on 3G, but that technology doesn't deliver the economics Sprint needs, said Barry West, Sprint's chief technology officer. WiMax service prices will meet Sprint's frequently stated goal of offering 1G byte of data per month for less than $20: "We are significantly south of that," West said. Motorola and Samsung's position in the device market, along with Intel's marketing power, will make this a turning point for WiMax, said IDC analyst Shiv Bakhshi. "WiMax was in need of a major player signing on to it," he said

(InfoWorld) - Cisco Systems and Hewlett-PackardÂ see the wireless LAN as something that can help the whole enterprise, not just departments. On Tuesday, HP launched a systems integration practice to plan and build wireless LANs as a strategic asset. The practice uses Cisco hardware and software that can support applications such as advanced security, location-based services, voice, and LAN access for guests and visiting contractors. In enterprises, wireless LANs were first set up by individual departments that had specific uses for them, but Cisco and other vendors have been scaling up their offerings for more general deployments. HP, a long-time Cisco partner with enterprise credibility worldwide, will promote and carry out such deployments through its services business. HP will take advantage of Cisco's Light Weight Access Point Protocol, a management protocol that lets enterprises centralize network intelligence. This approach can bring faster deployment of the whole network and simplify management, according to the companies. Over time, HP's experience in putting together Cisco wired networks should help in achieving Cisco's long-term goal of integrating wired and wireless LANs, said Ben Gibson, Cisco's director of mobility solutions marketing. Emerging capabilities of wireless LANs, such as location-based services, will make them useful across enterprises, Gibson said. For example, the networks can be used in conjunction with RFID (radio frequency identification) to keep track of physical assets, he said. In addition, unified messaging systems could use employees' locations as part of presence information, informing other workers whether they were within reach of their desk phones or PCs. The new systems integration practice is available now. The relationship is not exclusive, the companies said.
