In addition, Nortel's MIMO-based mobile WiMAX can deliver\nthree times the speed and twice the subscriber capacity with greater range and\nbuilding penetration in urban areas compared to non-MIMO WiMAX solutions.

It also creates opportunity for new entrants to compete in the\nwireless content delivery business.\nThe mobile WiMAX solution will deliver speeds rivaling current home\nbroadband Internet technologies with much greater efficiency than current\nwireless capabilities.
