ZDNet Asia's Farihan Bahrin reports today that Malaysian mobile operator Maxis has initiated a trial of mobile WiMax in Kuala Lumpur using equipment from Motorola.
"The live trial will be conducted at four sites in downtown Kuala Lumpur, including the Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC)," Bahrin writes. "The trial is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2007. Maxis said it is using the trial to assess WiMax's traffic channeling capabilities as well as to measure the real-world performance of Motorola's WiMax equipment."
"We see mobile WiMAX as an essential and complementary service to our ongoing HSDPA deployment due to its progressive capacity management capabilities for high broadband traffic," says Nikolai Dobberstein, Maxis' senior general manager for products and new businesses.
