Vodafone joined Wimax forum as principal member yesterday. Wimax forum is a non-profit industry organization for promoting and certifying interoperable Wimax products.

“Our membership of the WiMAX Forum will complement our existing memberships of other key industry bodies such as the GSMA, 3GPP and the Next Generation Mobile Network initiative,” said Steve Pusey, Global Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone. "Vodafone remains technology neutral as far as our future network options are concerned, and joining the WiMAX Forum is a logical step as we seek to evaluate the full capabilities and potential of this technology."

“The WiMAX Forum is pleased that Vodafone has joined our organization,”  said Ron Resnick, President of WiMAX Forum,  “We look forward to Vodafone playing a key role in the future development of WiMAX technology.”
