| Range isn't what WiMax is about Range isn't what WiMax is about, it has a host of other features that make it interesting, but not to home users.
Unless you are a WISP this isn't going to be hot news for you.
WiMax is designed for outdoors, offers QOS and other features that allow for traffic control and prioritzation. It also offers a much higher spectral efficiency. How about 802.11g speeds but with 11 channels that don't overlap each other?
As to it being a long ways off, there are already WiMax like systems being deployed by several manufacturers, it won't take much to bring them to WiMax compliance. |
