With deployments currently in eight cities, Bharti Airtel is using WiMAX to enhance its broadband, fixed and cellular network infrastructure to offer affordable broadband data services to customers in new markets and has plans to expand this network to more cities throughout India.
Alvarion’s Breezemax 3300 is an extension of its WiMAX platform operating in 3.3gHz, the frequency band specifically licensed for WIMAX services in India.
