Xohm will closely follow the terms of the cable/dsl providers, not the 3G carriers. |

1 edit | WiMAX already available in Chicago
You can already use WiMAX in Chicago. It's just not 'officially' released yet. Just buy a device and register it in Baltimore then switch the billing address. Don't expect any customer support though.
See www.4ginfo.com as they already did it. |

Most will want to wait for EVDO/WiMAX combo cards anyway, which are expected to come by the end of the year. |

Xeno, through Xohm, can your system accept incoming connections, such as incoming VNC, SSH, or Remote Desktop connections? |

WiMAX is an IEEE spec like WiFi. Any consumer electronics maker can drop in a WiMAX chip just as with WiFi today. They don't have to deal with any carriers to do it. I imagine we'll start seeing a wide range of devices once combo WiFi/WiMAX chipsets are dirt cheap and when coverage is greater globally. For the next year though, it will probably mostly be laptop cards, modems and some cellphones. |

XOHM's average latency, at 133ms, was much lower than that of cellular networks, which usually average around 200-ms to -250ms. I got figures as low as 71ms on one test. Here's proof that the these people don't really know what they're talkinga bout Plenty of people, including myself, can average 133 ms or less on EVDO.

I can sometimes get 90ms on EVDO, but not much lower than that. |

Re: WiMAX already available in Chicago
I read last night that Baltimore uses Samsung APs, while Chicago is using Motorola wimax APs.
Sounds to me like it's still a big beta since they don't seem to have chosen any one hardware for roll out.

Re: XOHM for mobile devices, i.e. iPod Touch?
So technically... someone could deploy WiMAX on the 2.4GHz spectrum that WiFi uses today similar to WiFi (but using the same power contstraints given for 2.4GHz unlicensed spectrum)
