The technologies discussed at the meet were 4T4R (4 transmitters and 4 receivers), MIMO (multi-input multi-output), and Beamforming.

“If the challenges of WiMAX development, such as standardization, technology, industry maturity, commercialization, and spectrum, can be addressed one by one, undoubtedly the development of WiMAX will be accelerated. Only in collaboration with our partners, can we prompt the evolution of WiMAX,” said Mr. Tang Xinhong, President of WiMAX.

“Huawei is a global leader in wireless technology, so having it as one of the primary members of the WiMAX 2 Collaborative Initiative is a clear signal that the continued evolution of 4G broadband wireless technology is on track," said Pouya Taaghol, CTO, Mobile Wireless Group, Intel. “Intel commends Huawei’s leadership towards building an open and harmonious industry environment for the deployment of WiMAX networks with an innovative product roadmap to protect operators’ investments as they take advantage of the immediate need for broadband Internet services in many parts of the world.”
