WiMax Is (And Will Remain) A Niche Player > It'll be a bigger player behind the scenes

Re: It'll be a bigger player behind the scenes

But WiMAX has vendor interoperability. Your Canopy and whatever other backhaul you find is vendor lock in.

True enough.

But like I said, WiMAX is currently a point-to-multipoint, metro level wireless solution. Not a point-to-point (PtP) wireless backhaul solution.

Use the right tool for the job.

It'd be nice if those wireless backhaul products were standardized and interoperable as well, and eventually they will too. But it's not nearly as important today, as standardized/interoperable Base Stations (BS) and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE).
