Again, Wi-MAX implies only a set of standard tests for one or more versions of 802.16 (currently fixed) wireless.. all of which operate above 5 ghz.
Currently its major applications will consist of Interconnecting those Wireless , or Wired (does not matter which) Hotspots .
Also , underserved areas will certainly use Wi-MAX with SECTORED Antennas (not omni-directional) to act as a replacement for xDSL service, and/or Cable Modem service.
System On a Chip circuits are only now being developed, and surely THESE EARLY MODELS will NOT be suitable for a PCS phone... I don't know of any FOOL who says otherwise.
Your anti-5ghz rhetoric, omni-directional antennae, and food containers serve no use, other than to make you look silly and unwilling to learn.... however I appreciate the fact that you have moved away somewhat from that foolishness.
re:
then I can only study existing hostpot deployments to predict commercial success. a really poor way to judge the operation of 16a systems which are designed for very difficult outdoor applications and environments, IMHO.
There has been FAR too much wi-FI HYPE, in publications, by authors who are without a clue, and apparently want to sell their papers.
AGAIN , WITHOUT THE BS .... Wi-FI is MERELY a REPLACEMENT for 10Base T (using 802.11b) and 100 Base T (using 802.11a or g) WIRED LANS.
Don't overthink throughput. I NEVER have . I do not subscribe to the overstated hype and supposed 72 megabit/second BS for instance.
Name a reason to buy a 54mb/sec connection to a laptop that doesn't involve trojan viruses and a Microsoft operating system. Don't know what you are getting at ?
Why would I buy into a Network connection that EXPOSES me to viruses ?? BTW IT MAKES NO MATTER .... WIRED or WIRELESS. so what is the point ?
Help me find a WOFDM implementation that can fit into a cellphone, use omnidirectional antennas even indoors, and can be deployed as a direct replacement for PCS CDMA without new cellsites.
We already covered that .... there are NO chips small enough for cellphone applications in the near future again ... WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT OMNI ANTENNAS again ?? Decent Cell sites USE SECTORED Antennae, and may soon use STEERABLE antennae.
Mobile devices, BTW, WHEN THE DO SHOW UP .... will be the ONLY ONES to use OMNI Antennae , IMO. |
