Re: Clearwire needs to deploy LTE LTE would have the same limitations as WiMAX. They are essentially the same technology on the backend. MIMO antennas are what is really needed to get high performance indoors for any 4G technology. That will be coming in the next round of 4G.
WiMAX is needed because it is controlled by IEEE like WiFi. I'd hate to see 3GGP (owns LTE) and telcom companies totally control wireless internet access. The cable companies won't want LTE since it is controlled by the trad telcom companies. We need both, not domination of one.
Consumers should want WiMAX more than LTE. If anything, Clear should split their huge amount of spectrum to support both, but we as consumers really should be pulling for WiMAX. |
