WCAI member Alvarion and MLL Telecom, Alvarion’s partner in the UK, today announced that the Mobile WiMAX network built for the UK’s Mobile WiMAX Acceleration Group (M-WAG) has been used to test a wide variety of applications for consumer, business and local government market segments. Established in 2007, M-WAG is a consortium of companies formed to create a WiMAX ecosystem in the UK to showcase the WiMAX business case in anticipation of Ofcom’s auction of the 2.6 GHz spectrum, which is expected to take place during 2010. The pilot network in Maidstone went live in July 2008 with the support of Maidstone Borough Council and has been used to trial a number of different applications such as mobile data, mobile VoIP and mobile video streaming.
