WiMAX Gets More Ink

WiMax is getting more ink in the press lately, with Intel's $600M investment in Clearwire and more Intel news about its mobile WiMax chip, Rosedale II. Motorola is doing its part. The telecom equipment maker will begin a WiMax trial in Tokyo, starting in September. It's also won a contract to build a nationwide WiMax network in Pakistan, starting early next year. The efforts of those large companies are good for startups, such as Paris-based Sequans Communications, which just raised $24 million.
