re: Nortel, Moto in JV Talks?I realize this possible JV is focused on GSM/CDMA wireless services but given that enterprise/Wi-FI-based wireless is a shared product interest for both companies (given Moto assimilated Symbol)might we see integration there too? If so, it appears to be another nail in Trapeze's OEM relationship coffin...
re: Nortel, Moto in JV Talks?The Wi-Fi business for Nortel is tiny compared to GSM/CDMA (millions versus billions). Also the business units are completely different.
I really doubt that the term "Wi-Fi" was even mentioned in this negotiation.
re: Nortel, Moto in JV Talks?I thought it sounded more like a herbal remedy for Irritable Bowell Syndrome - which, in the circumstances may have a certain resonance ;)
================================================ Nortola -- sounds like a kind of cheap canadian olive oil.
re: Nortel, Moto in JV Talks?Not true, Nortel has only sold its 3G UMTS business because 3G will never fly. Actually from what I hear, mobile service providers are already stopping or at least slowing down 3G investment. Nortel is active in 4G (LTE+WIMAX) as well as in 2G (GSM+CDMA). This might be the right move to join forces in 4G with Moto, but only time will tell.
Perhaps NoMoto
or Ola-Tel
