-Tokyo and London-
NEC Corporation announced today they performed successful
testing at the third Mobile WiMAX Plugfest held last week in Sophia
Antipolis, France. NEC was one of 32 WiMAX equipment and test
equipment manufacturers to perform interoperability of Mobile WiMAX
equipment. The actual testing was conducted between May 13 and
19.
NEC has joined with its mobile WiMAX flexible basestation
platform and mobile WiMAX card. Both these platforms allow users to
connect seamlessly across wide area wireless networks delivering
full mobility and a high quality of service.
The work NEC has undertaken at the Plugfest builds on the
experience of recent wins in Taiwan and commitment to the
technology’s development. The signing of agreements with the
service provider Tatung and the Taiwanese government announced
recently cement NEC’s leadership in the field of mobile networking.
The establishment of the WiMAX R&D centre in Taiwan will allow
interoperability testing to continue apace and to drive the global
adoption of Mobile WiMAX as the next generation wireless networking
technology.
NEC Europe Ltd., a NEC Corp’s wholly owned subsidiary, will
represent at 5th Annual Mobile Broadband Congress at Olympia,
London on May 23 – 24. Stephen Lightley will present on “The
Transition from Fixed to Mobile WiMAX Today” on May 23,
15:00-15:20. NEC’s booth will be located at stand 1405.
