Range isn't what WiMax is about in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r11475862 en Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:14:26 EDT Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:14:26 EDT Range isn't what WiMax is about http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11475862 cmaenginsb : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11475862 Fri, 01 Oct 2004 13:11:18 EDT
