Motorola Adds WiMAX Access Point 850

CHICAGO, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- 4G World -- Addressing the needs of WiMAX operators looking to evolve their networks to support richer mobile data, the Motorola Solutions business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today at 4G World 2010 announced the WiMAX Access Point (WAP) 850 to help WiMAX operators cost-effectively deliver 4G services such as video calling and voice over IP (VoIP) services to subscribers.

"Today's mobile subscribers are conditioned to expect speedy data and voice access, and therefore demand increasingly higher broadband rates at lower prices. For a WiMAX operator, this translates into an urgent need to create a solid roadmap supporting greater network capacity. Motorola's WiMAX WAP 850 offers operators a clear path toward building a 4G network by expanding WiMAX services while incrementally upgrading to 802.16m or LTE. In practice, this helps protect current network investments, while ensuring appropriate technology is in place to support future data rates."
