Nokia WiMAX Base Station for next year

But devices won't be available until 2008.



Nokia has announced a modular WiMAX Base Station due for release in 2007.

It's not surprising the company is being proactive in this area; Nokia is a founding member of the WiMAX Forum and the mobile WiMAX standard; IEEE 802.16e-2005.

The Nokia Flexi WiMAX Base Station will be available for the 2.5 GHz band towards the end of next year and for 3.5 GHz in 1Q 2008. WiMAX-capable Nokia mobile devices are expected to be available in 2008.
