 | | Fixed vs. Mobile Yes, Buzz is using a pre-WiMAX version, which is terrible for non-LOS. It's amazing how much attention they got for that comment. Sounds to me they had a poor implementation and blamed it on the technology. | |

| | No Comment It hurts too much already. Why-Max is not, nor ever will be. Been saying it for 3 years now. Google the terms "First Quarter + Wi-Max", "Second Quarter + Wi-Max", etc and you will see some huge and declinig differences in hit count. It is all hype, and until they get realistic with the hardware pricing, and somewhere a little closer to physical reality on their RF propagation theory, everybody will remain "Damn near ready to start rolling out in the very next quarter". ROI studies render deployments cold and stiff on the table. | |

Grove City, PA | Too close for comfort? 2.5Ghz is a little too close to the ISM band (2.4Ghz) to me. Consumer devices don't always stay in spec and can bleed over to higher channels.
I wouldn't be surprised if something as simple as a microwave caused interference for someone using this equipment.
2.5 is still high as far as penetration is concerned. Maybe if they can implement high sensitivity radios (-90dBm) it would be worthwhile.

On interference from 2.4 Ghz, I would think this interference would be very localized and would affect only the subscriber and not cause system-wide problems. | |

Grove City, PA | Re: Too close for comfort? That's what I meant. Who knows how many potential subscribers have a device polluting the 2.45Ghz range and up in their house with the range of baby monitors, cordless phones, cheap microwaves, bluetooth, routers, etc. available.
They won't do any homework and instead blame the technology and or provider for a localized problem.

Saint Clair Shores, MI | Verizon payroll? Gee... wonder how much VZW paid the guy to do a 180? Give him a few weeks (years) and see if he becomes a LTE fanboy.  | |
