Motorola is really working on their overseas infrastructure build-outs. The struggling mobile phone once-giant has announced that it has secured two WiMAX infrastructure contracts for Taiwan’s M-Taiwan project, which aims to create a “ubiquitous mobile” network in Taiwan. The project would have Taipei’s two largest counties, Jhonghe and Banciao, in WiMAX, 3G, and WiFi in addition to the local wireless infrastructure
Motorola (NYSE: MOT) will be building the WiMAX infrastructure for Taiwan’s Far EasTone Telecom (FET), which covers about one-third of Taiwan’s wireless market. By the end of next year, Taiwanese residents should be enjoying all kinds of broadband goodies that only a super-high-speed network like WiMAX can provide.
We’re looking at WiMAX deployment in the states around roughly the same time, so it looks like east and west will be united in the same 4G WiMAX services. For once the US isn’t too far behind the rest of the world.
