| I wish some companies would wake up
I've stated a number of times that companies out there are not looking at the options given them. We have HSPDA, Edge, 1xRTT, EVDO, EVDO RevA along with a myriad mix of older technology. WiMax even at 30 miles coverage beats any of the new technologies that rely on the strenght of the cellular signal. EvDO is laggy to the point it's only useful for non real time stuff like websurfing. FlashOFDM seemed to solve this but it never got off the ground.
WiMax can answer all of these questions and if cellular providers would stop breastfeeding off companies like Qualcomm and actually go with a technology that can actually perform.
WiMax alone can make cellular networks impervious to interruption from anything but a nuclear weapon discharge. Provide ample bandwidth for the most demanding office applications and provide coverage to areas that typically have never been served at all. -- FIOS chat »www.fioschat.com |
