4G technology continues to pick up speed, with successful WiMAX implementation currently underway in China and Taiwan. WiMAX carrier Proxim has partnered with CTV Infotech, a subsidiary of Chinese Television Company Ltd, to provide them with WiMAX equipment for their wireless "triple play" product. CTV has replaced their old satellite system with the new Proxim equipment to deliver their IPTV and VOIP and provide a solution for real-time news capabilities.

With Proxim's setup, CTV is able to take advantage of the larger bandwidth, higher capacity, and longer range available from WiMAX to increase the amount of programming available to consumers. They've managed to increase the amount of real-time news information as well as the number of locations from which they can gather news. CTV Infotech's customers can access up-to-the-minute video and audio straight from their wireless devices.

Another bonus? The new WiMAX system is much more cost effective than the old satellite setup!
