Nokia Ends Production of Its Only WiMax Device
After selling them for just a few months, Nokia has decided to stop making its N810 WiMax Edition handheld computer.
"Nokia Siemens did struggle with their product so they might say they'll put their efforts on LTE rather than try to do both," she said. LTE (Long-Term Evolution) is the next generation mobile technology that the majority of mobile phone operators plan to transition to.
Nokia Siemens wouldn't be alone, if it is indeed shifting away from WiMax. Altcatel-Lucent, which Manjaro considered a leader in the market, recently said it planned to reduce spending on WiMax. Both companies may be deciding that they need to focus their efforts under stress from the faltering economic conditions, she said.
