A mobile user will handover seamlessly from one AP to another with no interruption of service.

This is the same WiMAX that Sprint XOHM will use. And we use the same vendors.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20753859 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:05:57 EDT Re: Clearwire pricing/Competition or Partner http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20753796 jester121 : You said it.

My fiber optic is not a clear wire. It has a reflective coating that forces the light to travel along a certain path.
It sounds like you need to do some research on Total Internal Reflection (»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_inte···flection). There isn't a "reflecitve coating" in fiber optic cable.

Semantics. The boundary layer (cladding) reflects the light along a specific path through the core.

Regardless, my main point was that the fiber optic cable (nor the fiber strand(s) inside) is not "clear".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20753782 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:21:40 EDT Re: Clearwire pricing/Competition or Partner http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20753742 hawgcaller :

Fiber optic is a clear wire. Wireless means there is no wire. :uhh:

If that's what they're going for then they are too cute by half.

BTW, it's mainly known as XOHM, not Clearwire.

The new Xohm network will use much superior technology compared to ClearCrap, which will have better backhaul and will actually be truly mobile.
The new network may be split with clearwire, but it sure as hell won't use existing ClearCrap equipment. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20753194 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:29:12 EDT Re: Clearwire pricing/Competition or Partner http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752862 EPS : Technically, their deal hasn't gone through, so Sprint has to do everything on their own for now in their launch- once the deal goes through the early Xohm network will be merged with Clearwire, though Sprint may keep Xohm branding on Sprint-sold services.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752862 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:25:46 EDT Re: Clearwire pricing/Competition or Partner http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752830 DoRight : Then why is Sprint treating it like it has nothing to do with Clearwire on a lot of their articles that I have seen?
From what I have seen and the newsletters I get Sprint is still using the XOHM name and Clearwire is stilling deploying their services with the backing of the others like Sprint, Camcast, Inetl etc..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752830 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:17:30 EDT Re: Clearwire pricing/Competition or Partner http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752792 CMoore2004 : Sprint's WiMax IS Clearwire, just a new company with investments from some big players.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752792 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:09:45 EDT Clearwire pricing/Competition or Partner http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752763 DoRight : How is this going to price against their partner Clearwire.
