NextPhase Announces Approval for WiMAX License in 3.65 GHz Band

NextPhase Wireless of Anaheim, California, announced that it has received confirmation from the FCC that their application for a nationwide license to provide WiMAX wireless services in the newly released 3.65 GHz band (3650-3700 MHz) had been approved.


"In late 2007, the FCC acknowledged the challenges faced in deploying WiMAX services in the US, and opened up the 3.65 - 3.7 GHz band for Wireless Broadband Services in an attempt to 'encourage multiple entrants and stimulate the expansion of broadband service to rural and under-served areas'. Applications for nationwide licenses were accepted from November 12, 2007, and I'm happy to announce that our application to provide WiMAX wireless services in the newly released GHz band has been approved," said Robert Ford, President and CEO.http://www.npwireless.com/
