Ending a lengthy trial period, today Sprint announced that it is officially ready to launch WiMax network services commercially in its test market of Baltimore-Washington, D.C. Sprint said that the mobile WiMax technology, which it is branding Xohm, has passed all the tests needed to assure certain quality measures regarding hand-offs and delays. The Baltimore-Washington, D.C. test market will be the first to launch commercially later this year. Sprint did not provide an exact date for the launch, nor information about access plan or hardware information, but it does have several key products in place, such as a laptop card, and WiMax-equipped Internet tablet.
