India gets WiMax. Alcatel-Lucent claims to successfully complete the deployment of what it calls the first live WiMax Rev-e network in Chennai. The company also said the system is now ready to commercial uses, like IP telephony and IP television.

The network is ready — and the devices are coming. Alcatel recently invested in WiMax chip specialist Sequans Communications. Both companies are used to working together. Last November, the companies said they are preparing low-cost end user devices based on Sequans’ chips and tailored to the need for broadband access in developing countries. Production is scheduled to begin during the second quarter of 2007.
