Sprint’s Xohm WiMAX launch at the end of the year

The WiMAX Forum Global Congress in Amsterdam was the perfect time for Sprint Nextel CTO, Barry West, to break news that the first commercial Xohm service will start this September in Baltimore. Finally after rumors and speculation we have an exact launch date for the highly anticipated WiMAX network to go live to the general public. West also announced that over 575 Xohm WiMAX base station sites are on air and ”It’s the only technology I know where the chipset evolution for devices is going faster than the infrastructure.”

The news is solid and hopefully investors will look past the current economic condition of Sprint Nextel and give the yellow and black team some credit. As we previously suspected, the Nokia Internet Tablet N810 WiMAX edition will be the first device available at launch along with a few AirCards and USB modems from ZyXEL. With WiMAX coming in next months and the Samsung Instinct taking on the iPhone later this week, expect an exciting year for Sprint Nextel and their best chance to turn around the company to 2005 figures.
