What's wrong with WiFi it makes perfect sense for small scale deployment such as a college campus while WiMAX will make sense for city wide projects. It's like everyone is doing crap backwards and on top of that everyone has at least a 802.11b/g card these days on there laptop or there desktop. -- The only limits we have are the one's we set ourselves.

Yeah, but some college campuses can be as big as a small city/town. At least the vast ones with a lot of living green things, heh.... And I'm not talking about the sick college drunks. -Tzale -- -Virtual Pirate-

Michieru2 zzz zzz zzz Premium join:2005-01-28 Miami, FL	It will be cheaper to use 802.11n equipment which has better throughput than WiMAX at 120Mbps and the upgrade is still cheap. I know of one vendor who quoted me for a WiMAX card of at least 80 dollars and the AP at around 200 dollars. I believe it was Zyxel. -- The only limits we have are the one's we set ourselves.

Yauch join:2005-06-24	reply to Tzale That's an excellent point, but Ball State isn't a large campus. I've seen much smaller, but if client connections and signals inside buildings weren't an issue, a single wi-fi point could cover this entire campus too.
