| Does the modem need to be stationary?
I heard that *clearwire* modems had to be stationary to get a signal, that if your roaming in the back seat of a car, you wont get service. Same thing apply to Sprints?
PS
I had actual sprint reps at my work (I work for a small cable company that does VOIP), none of them knew about this service, had no idea what I was talking about. |

From what I read, initial beta testing by Sprint/Xohm will support 802.16 stationary Wimax. But will migrate quickly to 802.16e mobile Wimax throughout 2008 and in to 2009.

Sprint is rolling out true mobile WiMAX. Clearwire will upgrade to mobile, probably next year.
Sprint demonstrated the mobile handoff between sites on a Chicago River boat ride demo during WiMAX World in Oct.
It will be truly mobile (802.16e) but I think it has issues handing off over 60mph. That may not be fixed until 802.16m. |
