7/24/2007, In order to service Olympic 2008, China Mobile is said to build a small 2.5GHz IEEE 802.16e WiMAX network in Qingdao. Huwei, Samsung, Motorola, ZTE all hope to become WiMAX equipemnt supplier for this project.
The project was thought to be the first 802.16e project. although after the Olympic games, the network will be uninstalled, Equipment suppliers still hope to give China Mobile a good impression on their WiMAX products.
The interesting thing in the original report is that in order to develope WiMAX technology, Huawei has recruited many engineers from Nortel China R&D departments, some of them even are foreigners.
The report said, In China, there were not enough R&D resources on WiMAX, so Nortel, who put WiMAX as their important direction, become the new victim of headhunting in China.
Is it this news true? Maybe only Nortel China can prove it.
