WiMAX isn't your average disruptive technology. It is technology that is placing the world on the threshold of a total transformation in wireless broadband communications. WiMAX delivers standards-based, high-speed voice, data and Internet connectivity in licensed spectrum for both fixed and mobile applications. Most importantly, it's the first technology that delivers true broadband mobility at speeds that enable powerful applications such as VoIP, online gaming, mobile TV and personalized infotainment. WiMAX doesn't depend on scattered hot spots. WiMAX makes the world one big, never-ending hot spot. Service operators can provide high-speed communications to customers whether they are at home, at the office, or on the move. WiMAX is about to make the Internet, and truly personal broadband, as common as air. That's the promise of WiMAX. And with Motorola's comprehensive wi4 WiMAX solutions, that's also the reality.

Fuel cell maker Angstrom Power and mobile phone maker Motorola have teamed up to create a prototype mobile phone that runs on a hydrogen fuel cell. Hydrogen is produced by cracking water molecules with a desktop fueling station and then inserted into a metal hydride storage container on the phone, says Aron Levitz, manager of business development for Angstrom. When the hydrogen molecules pass through a membrane in the fuel cell, electrons are stripped away and get diverted to run the phone. With a hydrogen fuel cell, you never have to go to the store to get fuel feedstock. You get it out of the faucet. Basically, you can think of it as a water-powered phone. The water-to-hydrogen generator can also be powered by solar panels, making the phone about as green as you can get. Hydrogen proponents point out that, although the hydrogen highway may not be built yet, the small molecule can be used to provide power to boats, fork lifts, and electronics.
