Motorola executives are leading six addresses at WiMAX World. Delivering
the industry keynote on Fri., Oct. 28, Motorola Networks Chief
Technology Officer Dan Coombes will describe Motorola's vision of
convergence and the role WiMAX will help play in bringing "seamless
mobility" to diverse networks and devices. Coombes will examine how
WiMAX will affect existing services; and describe how WiMAX can provide
the link for convergence among different technologies, including
cellular, broadband wireless, WiFi, and wireline.
WiMAX, with an estimated addressable global market for fixed and mobile
broadband solutions of up to USD$1 billion in 2007 and USD$4 billion by
2010 according to Maravedis, is one of the fastest growing emerging
sectors within the world's telecommunications industry. Maravedis is a
leading research and analysis firm focusing on broadband wireless
technologies including WiMAX.
Already a leading wireless broadband equipment provider through its
Canopy(TM) product line, Motorola continues to meet the opportunities of
WiMAX through MOTOwi4(TM), a product line of fixed and mobile broadband
solutions designed to meet the different needs of wireless, wireline,
and cable operators for lower cost delivery of data rich multimedia
applications and services.
"Motorola' sponsorship of WiMAX World is another sign of our commitment
and ability to bring the wider industry community together to fully
appreciate what WiMAX can do and how we can realize that potential,"
said Coombes. "At Motorola, we feel that WiMAX will reach a tipping
point in 2006. The foundation we have laid this year through trials, our
work in embracing the mobility standard, 802.16e, and introducing the
MOTOwi4 line will pay off as we ship our first WiMAX product in Spring
2006."
At WiMAX World 2005 Booth # 103, Motorola will demonstrate the
capability of its IMS solution to deliver Voice over IP (VoIP),
end-to-end converged services and applications across today's broadband
networks and emerging WiMAX access environments.
Motorola, using its IMS core and market leading MOTOwi4 Canopy(TM)
solution, will demonstrate IP-based voice, video, conferencing services,
unified messaging, ringback tones, and other SIP-based applications on
multiple devices including Motorola's Ojo(TM) Personal Video Phone. In
addition, visitors can learn about Motorola's Mesh Networks technology
and the role it will play in a WiMAX environment.
