Last night, Spring and Motorola conducted a live demonstration of Sprint’s Xohm mobile WiMax service on the Chicago river. During the demonstration, a speed test from Speedtest.net clocked the connection at more than twice the speed of Verizon’s EV-DO Rev. That’s fast.
"Motorola has reached a significant milestone in the industry by proving through these demonstrations that mobile WiMAX is real and ready for commercial deployment," said Fred Wright, Motorola senior vice president, Home & Networks Mobility. "We tackled one of the most challenging environments -- a river lined with tall buildings, 30 feet below street level, and crossed by numerous steel bridges -- to bring this WiMAX experience to life."
Aother demo showed using the WiMax while traveling in Chicago’s El train at 50mph.
