Motorola exec calls for operators to focus on market needs, not technologies, and to let WiMax, LTE co-exist.

This year’s Yankee Group 4G World is all-inclusive of 4G technologies WiMax and long-term evolution (LTE), but whether the two can co-exist has long been a topic of debate – one that is largely irrelevant, according to Motorola. Operators need to forget the technology dispute and focus on meeting consumers’ new needs, and equipment vendors need to continue to drive devices forward, Bruce Brda, senior vice president and general manager of Motorola’s wireless networks business, told attendees in his keynote speech today.
