Hi Frank, Commenting on two recent posts: >> Opinion: Ericsson delivers blow to unified 4G dream By Caroline Gabriel, Rethink Research \| 7 Apr 2017 \| arcchart.com But in the vendor community, who will follow Ericsson's lead?<< >>The pre-4G networks are evolving on such similar paths that they will be distinguished by brand and politics, rather than core technologies.<< "core technologies" == silicon, spectrum, siting >>there is a large community of service providers that cannot adopt HSPA because they have unsuitable or insufficient spectrum and no cellular heritage<< They also lack competence and credit ratings necessary to play in 4G, therefore dream of a 4G without requirements on operators. They might examine what their core competence is. arstechnica.com >>Montevina will likely support 802.16e-2005, which is better known as Mobile WiMAX. Users should see average download speeds of 2-4Mbps, at least on Sprint's WiMAX network. Down the road, Intel will likely add support for 802.16m, or "gigabit WiMAX," which offers speeds of up to 1Gbps per channel, but the 802.16m standard is unlikely to be officially ratified by the IEEE before early 2009.<< "unified 4G dream" == "gigabit WiMAX" == "unified 4G dream" NOT united in greed, little else == 802.11 voted unanimously to start a Very High Throughput Study Group, and is starting Gigabit next month, but our goals are much different than 1 Gbps per channel. I will post them when we agree to them. petere
