July 24, 2009 | CAROLINE GABRIEL : The next generation wireless game is one of constantly moving goalposts and even as one platform is trialled, the next is already in the works. This week sees a milestone for the next iteration of the standard underpinning WiMAX, 802.16m, and the first operator trial plans for interoperability in the LTE core network.
Although Vodafone does not intend to roll out LTE until 2012 at the earliest, it is working intensively on tests and trials, mainly with its partners China Mobile and Verizon Wireless, both of which plan commercial networks from 2010.
