ATT to Test WiMax High-Speed Wireless Technology

March 16, 2005

AT&T Corp. said on Monday it would test a much-hyped high-speed wireless technology later this year to see if it can be used to replace traditional data lines to businesses.

If the technology, known as WiMax, lives up to expectations, AT&T Chief Technical Officer Hossein Eslambolchi said it could be used as early as 2006 to replace expensive data lines that AT&T now leases from local telephone companies to connect to its network.

Eslambolchi said AT&T will start the first test of a prototype version of WiMax in May in Middletown, New Jersey, with a commercial trial later this year.

AT&T, which has agreed to be bought by SBC Communications Inc. for $16 billion, is the largest seller of voice and data services to businesses. Of about 270,000 business buildings in the United States, Eslambolchi said AT&T had its own network running to about 7,000.
