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?
No, they are using fixed WiMax to get the signal to standard WiFi access points. Mobile WiMax doesn't require an intermediate WiFi access point. It's straight WiMax to the laptop, cell phone, whatever, at the speeds listed.

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.
