Hoping to get WiMAX widely embraced as soon as possible Intel, together with Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Clearwire, Samsung Electronics and Sprint have teamed up in order to form the Open Patent Alliance (OPA).
This new entity promotes an open intellectual property rights model which is hoped to eventually bring lower equipment and service prices for the 4G broadband wireless technology we know simply as WiMAX.
OPA, which is planning to get on board an additional six to nine investor companies will form a WiMAX patent pool which will see the six companies get access to patent licenses at 'predictable costs' plus it will act as a central hub for WiMAX intellectual property rights topics.
