First Impressions from WiMAX World Adlane Fellah, President and CEO

So here we are back at WIMAX World already, this time in Chicago. The choice of the city makes sense since Sprint is deploying its XOHM service with Motorola right here. Maravedis had a busy pre-conference day at the WiMAX World Chicago conference.  A whole afternoon workshop by Maravedis was spent covering deployment trends, spectrum analysis, consumer electronics and IPR and then finally PTP trends. Our sessions were competing against four other tracks.  So we are grateful to the large audience we received at each session. more…
