"Wimax chipsets are as low power as CDMA and EVDO. Perhaps even lower power. I have data from both.....as a designer, not an outsider. AND MUCH MUCH lower than HSDPA" Enginer! Could you explain why a HSDPA chip uses much much more power than a EVDO and a Wimax chip? First of all HSDPA is downlink and the power used is changing in the Basestation and not in the chip so you must mean that the receiver in the HSDPA chip uses much more power. For me this is totally new. What feature in EVDO and Wimax makes it much less power consuming than HSDPA? /R
