Sprint, Clearwlre partner on nationwide WIMAX network

摘要

Sprint Nextel and Clearwire - both of which were already building out WiMAX-based networks -have signed a letter of intent to work together on nationwide WiMAX coverage through metropolitan networks. The network will be separately owned, though the service provided through those networks will be co-branded. In order for the plan to succeed, the companies said they need to exchange selected 2.5 GHz spectrum to optimize the build-out, development and operation of the network. Sprint and Clearwire also expect to enable roaming between their respective territories.
