Nortel is betting on LTE as future wireless technology |
 |
Nortel Networks Corp., North America's biggest maker of phone equipment, plans to focus on developing equipment using the Long-Term Evolution wireless standard, devoting fewer resources to WiMax.
Nortel said it will put its ``main wireless R&D resources'' into LTE (Long Term Evolution), a so-called (4G) fourth-generation technology standard. The company enlisted Israel's Alvarion Ltd. as a partner in creating products using WiMax, a rival wireless technology.
The need for equipment based on LTE has grown as phone companies upgrade networks faster than expected, Nortel said. AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., the two biggest U.S. phone companies, have both said they will back that technology. Sprint Nextel Corp. is the only one of the top three U.S. wireless carriers that's supporting WiMax.
Under the terms of the WiMax agreement, Alvarion will contribute its radio-access network technology and Nortel will provide network and other technologies, as well as professional services.
Nortel Networks also said that 2008 sales will climb in the ``low single digits'' percentage-wise, reiterating an earlier forecast. Last year, sales fell 4.1 percent to $10.9 billion.
Gross margin, or the percentage of sales minus production costs, will expand this year to about 43 percent from 42.1 percent, Toronto-based Nortel Networks said today in a statement.

New 3G iPhone from Apple
On 3G data connectivity Jobs said the new handset can download an email attachment in a third of time it took the previous model, not exactly 1.8Mb/s let alone 7.2Mb/s wireless internet. Yet Apple claimed the iPhone is HSDPA-capable. Still, faster data connection if no coverage from a Wi-Fi hotspot.
