DoCoMo will test to the WiMax

NTT DoCoMo applied on Wednesday to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications for a license to set up experimental outdoor wireless stations to test WiMAX.

The company said it will conduct tests in the Yoyogi area of Tokyo for about one year using the 2.5GHz frequency band.

The test will assess throughput and wireless transmission characteristics according to the distances between a handset and base station, and handset moving speed. They will also explore optimal wireless parameters and base station allocations.

DoCoMo is also looking at possible interference from existing satellite communication systems.
