Nokia completes mobile WiMAX call, plans for trials next year

ESPOO, Finland-Nokia Corp. said it has completed a mobile WiMAX data call and will begin WiMAX trials in 2006.

“This is an important step in our WiMAX development work, and we are very encouraged by the results,” said Markku Hollstrom, general manager of the broadband wireless business program of Nokia’s Networks division.
