New Delhi, Feb 21 (UNI) C-Dot Alcatel-Lucent Research Centre (CARC) has successfully completed its first live WiMAX field trial using Aircel's licensed spectrum, confirming that the technology is ready for commercial deployment.
The trials for the IEEE 802.16e-2005 popularly called as the WiMAX technology were conducted using the 2.5GHz band and applications in moving conditions such as video streaming, high-speed file downloads, Voice over IP (VoIP) and web browsing, Alcatel-Lucent announced here today.
''Alcatel-Lucent's WiMAX solutions and their capability to offer higher throughout are poised to address service providers' challenges to offer reliable and affordable broadband services bundled with VoIP,'' said Mr Jagdish Kini, Group Chief Executive Officer, Aircel.
