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. |

2 edits | 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.
