Australian ISP CEO: Wimax a 'Disaster' > hey, it's wireless

With regard to range Buzz Broadband opted to go with the less-expensive micro-cell base stations in order to reduce cost. This was a well understood trade-off of cost versus range, according to Airspan.

The vendor also blames Buzz for bad IP telephony performance, saying Airspan technical services determined that Buzz's back-haul network was considerably under-dimensioned, again to save cost, and lacked sufficient quality of service, and that these factors were the direct cause of VOIP (voice over IP) quality issues in the network.
