WiMAX Forum(R) Introduces Interactive Deployment Database of Global WiMAX(TM) Deployments

Thursday September 4 10:00 PM

Powered by Informa Telecoms' WCIS database, the WiMAX Forum's Interactive Deployment Database features WiMAX operators including the most recent statistics on worldwide WiMAX deployments. The database may be found at www.wimaxmaps.org, and is linked to on the WiMAX Forum homepage. Available for public use, this tool includes detailed information on each of the operators, stage and type of deployment, spectrum utilized and more. This valuable resource will be updated quarterly with the latest information, and also includes an important section for user feedback.

"The WiMAX Forum is devoted to helping the global community better understand WiMAX technology and its extraordinary success," said Ron Resnick, president of the WiMAX Forum. "This sophisticated tool is an easy to use, centralized source that provides the most up-to-date data, further demonstrating the widespread impact of WiMAX technology and its availability to consumers."
