Re: The lab is busy There will be winner or loser, they'll both co-exist. This isn't like Bluray/HDDVD fight. It's more like cable vs. dsl, satellite tv vs cable tv. There was no 'winner' in the latter two as the playing field is defined by what resources are available to the provider.
WiMAX will be pushed by IEEE and the consumer electronics industry. LTE will be pushed by the telcom industry. Both will exist long term. |

| You mean the CDMA that is pretty much being non-existant outside the US/Canada and is about to be overlayed on the North American CDMA providers networks with the follow on to GSM (HSPA).
So yea it may co-exist for awhile and then LTE will just fade away. I maintain that since Wi-MAX is soooooooo far ahead in this case LTE will never get off the ground. In 3-5 years the ecomomies of scale will take over and Wi-MAX will be much cheaper to deploy compared to LTE it just won't make ecomomic sense to deploy a completely separate technology. They will probably, at the very least, try make LTE more like Wi-MAX so the equipment is more compatible. |
