PC World - First LTE Base Station Runs WiMax Too

PC World - First LTE Base Station Runs WiMax Too Every new generation of technology comes with a standards war. First there was GSM, CDMA and then GPRS, 1x. Then came cdma200o and UMTS. Now there is LTE and Wimax. Much like the DVD wars of Blu-ray v/s HD-DVD camps, the suppliers need to find the right time to launch the products going one way or the other. The LTE v/s WiMax war has the suppliers in flux too. So what do to you expect? Dual-mode products. Much like AT&T that was moving from TDMA to GSM in 2001, with devices like Siemens S45 TDMA-GSM-GPRS technologies, expect to see dual/triple mode devices in next 2 years. ANy guesses on who will win the war here?
