IBM has become a member of the WiMAX Forum, an industry-led organization driving the global adoption of standards-based, interoperable WiMAX products for the delivery of broadband mobile Internet services.WiMAX technology is designed to help service providers across global markets deliver economical, “last-mile,” wireless broadband data, voice and video services to both residential and business customers, explains the company in a statement. Migrating from a traditional switched environment to an IP-based network is a major challenge facing service providers, but one that creates a lot of opportunity to meet the growing demands of users.In addition to a wide range of consulting, implementation services, hardware and software to help service providers leverage new business models, IBM says it has developed an ecosystem of device, equipment, software and services partners, many of whom are also WiMAX Forum members. Together, they have participated in early broadband wins in both the municipal and telco markets, where interest has been growing rapidly.—Esther Schindler Check out our CIO News Alerts and Tech Informer pages for more updated news coverage.
