Re: Forget WiFi; start getting ready for citywide mobile Wimax Wimax is on the horizon...we've already got AT&T beating down the City and County Government doors looking for avenues to deploy it in 2008.
Wifi, on the other hand, will still serve it's purpose. For the near term, it's still much more readily available and significantly less expensive. From the long distance point to point links (we operate in the less crowded unlicensed 5Ghz bands) to the 2.4Ghz unlicensed spectrum (which is quite crowded these days, but suitable for shorter distance and indoor operations), don't discount wifi just yet.
AT&T tells us Wimax will be targeted initially as a mobile solution and most likely deployed in a grid scenario. |
