Reston, Va. - Sprint Nextel, the Reston-based wireless giant, on Friday named handset maker Nokia as a key partner in its new next-generation WiMAX mobile network. Nokia – along with Intel, Samsung and Motorola – will create network infrastructure and access devices that will allow consumers to access high-speed wireless Internet service beginning in late 2007.

Sprint Nextel announced in August that it would use WiMAX wireless technology for its new network, which will utilize the company's extensive assets in the 2.5GHz spectrum. The company is expecting its new network to cover at least 100 million people by the end of 2008.
