Motorola: LTE will catch up with WiMax -- LTE, WiMax wireless -- InformationWeek

Which high-speed wireless infrastructure will win the increasingly intense horse race between WiMax and the Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile standard? For the answer InformationWeek turned to Motorola's Bruce Brda, whose company is supplying much of the foundation products for both network technologies. "Both WiMax and LTE can succeed," said Brda in an interview.

Although most of the world's major carriers have said they will eventually move to LTE, Brda believes that WiMax has such a big head start that it will lead deployments for a few years, and not just for a few months, as many have speculated.
