Sprint and Motorola are working together to develop the 802.16e version of WiMax. Under the terms of the agreement, Motorola will develop and provide wireless radio technology, IP core switching and wireless devices, including handsets, to Sprint. Sprint, which also signed a deal with Intel to help develop the technology, is investigating WiMAX as a next-generation wireless service offering.
Both companies will jointly lab-test base station equipment, smart antenna technology and multimedia handsets, conducting field trials in undisclosed locations in 2005 and 2006. If successful, the technology will be marketed to customers. Currently, the agreement covers just the licensed 2.5-GHz spectrum technology available for use in the United States.
