Nortel Picks LTE over Wi-Max
By Mark Evans | June 11, 2008
Not sure what to make of Nortel’s decision to pick LTE over Wi-Max but pragmatism seems to have played a key role.
Gerry Collins, Nortel’s director of wireless for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said LTE has better prospects while Wi-Max has done as well as expected.
“We looked at our portfolio and felt we hadn’t addressed either segment very well,” he told PC World, adding that Nortel will focus its R&D dollars and focus on LTE rather than trying to split it between LTE and Wi-Max.
