Vodafone KK in Japan will conduct a technology trial of Flarion’s system for mobile broadband services. The trial will start in mid 2004 and will cover metropolitan areas of Tokyo. Vodafone will conduct field tests of Flarion’s system performance, user mobility, subscriber scalability, robustness, and transparent delivery of enterprise and consumer applications over an end-to-end IP network infrastructure. The trial will use Flarion’s commercially available FLASH-OFDM PC card modems for laptops and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), to field test broadband Internet access, enterprise productivity applications, as well as gaming. http://www.flarion.com
