New Delhi: Nokia will launch its first WiMAX capable mobile in 2008. It also plans to offer its services as a technology partner to Indian cellular networks who wish to set up WiMAX networks. With more than 20 3G handsets in its kitty, it is also planning to make several handsets of the N-Series category capable of accessing WiMAX network for broadband Internet. N770 is expected to be the first to support WiMAX. Nokia has struck a partnership deal with Intel to accelerate the development, adoption and deployment of standards-based mobile WiMAX technology across the world. With Pune, Bangalore and Chennai getting WiMAXed, Nokia is surely tapping a potentially rich market.
