Hi MQ, WiMAX uses the first basic PHYsical Layer technology to be optimized entirely for the hostile outdoor environment. For example it uses 256 orthoginal sub-carriers rather than the 64 (for 802.11a, b , g,). Technologies such as 11a can be cranked up to work in the outdoor environment, but at a increased data packet error ratio of about 1 in every 12 data packets. It is the Parasol , who's ribs interconnect those public and private hotspots to the big fibre pipes, and the wireless replacement for DSL and Cable-Modem. Best to ya, Mardy.
