Enabling subscribers to access conferencing and voice over IP functionality as well as music and video applications from devices that are increasingly mobile brings the reality of MOTOwi4 WiMAX solutions to consumers across the country.

'As users increasingly expect broadband access wherever they choose to work or play, the requirements for bandwidth are outpacing revenue growth. Motorola's MOTOwi4TM solutions portfolio including WiMAX help people keep in touch with content and information-voice, e-mail, the Internet, audio/video streaming, and music download features-wherever they are,'
