any other type of infrastructure.
Actually, WiMax covers an entire metropolitan area so it has the advantage that handoffs are not required.
Actually there will be many WiMAX sites in a metro area and will need handoffs between sites when moving in a car/train, etc. A WiMAX tower can supposedly do about 4-6 miles at 2-10Mbps in the real world, but there may be more than one every 4-6 miles where extra capacity is needed or in difficult terrain.

Mobile WiMAX is spec'd to do handoffs between sites.

join:2005-03-26		 Thank you for the clarification. I had heard 15 miles for 2mbps, but that was years ago. Are they soft handoffs? I hope Xohm network will indeed be open to different access devices and will permit VoIP without restrictions.

 The Intel chipset will likely have real handoffs by the time it arrives next year. What's unknown is if the initial Sprint WiMAX cards for the trial starting end of this year will do true handoffs or be 'nomadic', meaning you can move within the WiMAX site. But they will hopefully have WiMAX/EVDO combo cards so that you could use EVDO as a backup until mobile WiMAX is fully deployed and fully supported.

WiMAX World starts tomorrow so we should find out more.
