Default Nexttel Prepares High Speed Wireless Data Network Test

http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2004/02/05/nextel_preps_hi.php

"Nextel, the carrier most known for its push-to-talk services, is testing a highspeed data network in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. According to the company, speeds as high of 3 megabits can be experienced (more than twice the speed of a T1). If the trial goes well, the network will go head to head against Verizon Wireless’ 1xEV-DO technology that is going nationwide."

More speed, more speed!

The place I work has been using Nextel for a few years (currently the Blackberry) and I have not been too impressed. The only thing I use to like about Nextel was the PTT feature, but I quit using it since it does not work well with the Blackberry. We shall see how this venture turns out. Wonder who is supplying the equipment?

Info on the features and requirements.
