Cisco> Hey Ruff...re CSCO technology...... by: pstmose 45545 of 45545 Can you relay to your friends on SI that the CSCO wireless technology appears to be for fixed wireless applications, rather than for mobile applications, which the Q's patents cover. Here is a blurb from SI post #46182, last paragraph..... "In contrast to the other emerging solutions for mass market broadband fixed wireless access, VOFDM technology is extremely robust in the presence of interference and multi-path fading that occurs in real life wireless environments," said Dr. Henry Samueli, Broadcom's co-founder, chief technical officer and vice president of research and development. "Our goal is to create cost-effective silicon solutions for mass deployment of consumer premises devices. We have analyzed all of the technology alternatives for broadband fixed wireless and this advanced solution is the only one that enables reliable communication in obstructed wireless links where line-of-sight connections are not practical. Although the news is still a bit distressing, it does not seem to be the end of the world. Still a huge market for mobile wireless and CDMA, IMHO.
