Xohm Launch Slips to October

Sprint Nextel will launch its Xohm mobile WiMAX network Oct. 8 in Baltimore, the company says. But that doesn't mean we should expect a full commercial launch. Initially, the network will be used by "friendly" partners such as Intel and other Xohm partners who will seed the market with selected friendly users. 

Motorola, Nokia, Nokia-Siemens Networks, Samsung, ZTE, ZyXEL, Ciena, DragonWave and Mformation also will be providing software, hardware and applications during the test period. 

Future service will launch in Chicago and Washington, D.C. as well. Aside from the normal shakedown issues, backhaul has been a key issue, and carrier Ethernet is a key technology for solving those problems.
