Why don't you ask Barry West? wcai.com wcai.com Hot Topics include… >Intel’s Integrated Vision of 802.11 Centrino & 802.16 WiMAX Last-Mile and Mobile Solutions >Nextel’s Wireless Broadband Vision http://www.wcai.com/pdf/2004/ts10_fbNov25.pdf At the same time, you can find out why Nextel is taking a pass on 3g. Cool Hand Luke PS I guess you missed the WiDEN announcement! LoL! sys-con.com

re LOS " A symptom of 5ghz deployment. " Not at all the case, with WiMAX or Wi-Max-Like current deployments ... products by Wi-Lan are Wi-max-Like, as the Wi-max is based on the Wi-Lan Wideband OFDM products' PHYsical Layer technology. While total NLOS is a stretch of the imagination in some cases, Near NLOS certainly applies to the 256 FFT W-OFDM products. BTW W-OFDM is aptly described by Tony Nguyen , from Infineon ... ragingbull.lycos.com Tony.Nguyen@infineon.com WHAT IS W-OFDM? W-OFDM overcome problems with multipath by sending training symbols: the adverse channel effects can then be reduced through a simple division by the channel frequency response. It also employs a spreading forward error correcting code, such as Reed-Solomon, to spread the symbols over many frequencies that convert the signal to direct sequence spread-spectrum with the ability to recover the symbols even if some carriers are totally absent. W-OFDM's efficiency and noise tolerance unite the best of spread-spectrum and narrowband systems. Recall that spread-spectrum use excessive bandwidth to compensate for noise and multipath, while narrowband technology is more sensitive to multipath propagation.
