Any article that starts out with Wi-Max is a long range version of WiFi is bound to have technical problems.
Here in the US the FCC has regulated the only frequency that interferes with C-band for sure by limiting it's use away from major centers of C-band earth stations.
WiMax uses a variety of frequencies from 2.4-2.7 Ghz and 3.4-3.7 Ghz and 5 Ghz in some places. As time goes on there will be more and more profiles for WiMax in a variety of other frequencies as well.
There are other wireless services that can use the same frequency bands and cause the same interference.
The satellite industry does not appear to be interested in change, just making everyone else change around them. Case in point was XM who wanted to outlaw wifi because they didn't build good enough filters to prevent wifi signal from interference with their near band equipment. -- CCNA, Comtrain Certified Tower Climber |
