Nokia have signed up a number of key players to support the LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks, as a 4th generation mobile network in direct competition to Intel’s WiMAX initiative. Sony Ericsson, NEC and Alcatel-Lucent, NextWave Wireless and Nokia Siemens Networks are all part of the licensing framework which is designed to keep the LTE patent costs down to a minimum to ensure it has the best chance of success.
