They are not using "WiMax" for "Backhaul"....from what I see in that "press" release...they are using fiber to feed "WiMax" towers along the track, which in turn feed the wireless signal into the passing trains. | |

2 edits | Re: Why is this impressive? Exactly why would it be called a "WiMax Tower" if it did not use WiMax technology? The fact that the passengers are using WiFi to connect to a WiMax router makes very little difference, theres just not a whole lot of WiMax PC adapters available yet, ya know. | |

He said the "BackHaul" portion was NOT WiMax...he never said anything about the towers that feed the trains. | |

| said by id_deleted :Exactly why would it be called a "WiMax Tower" if it did not use WiMax technology? This article is about MOBILE WiMax, not fixed WiMax. Clearwire has offered fixed WiMax here for 3+ years now. There is a big difference in the two technologies.

2 edits | Re: Why is this impressive? Well exactly what speed do you consider "mobile" then, is 79 mph not quite up to your expectations? The same system is used by the UTA bus fleet. If I had the same equipment in my car I would be good to go, what is so hard to understand there? | |

Mobile WiMax doesn't require an intermediate WiFi access point. It's straight WiMax to the laptop, cell phone, whatever, at the speeds listed.
