RE: Future of WiMax

This is not exactly true. With the 3G networks (GSM) you can get. 7.2-Mbps HSDPA (downstream) 5.8-Mbps HSUPA (upstream) LTE speeds are much more comparable to Wimax. -----Original Message----- From: Holmes,David A [mailto:dholmes@mwdh2o.com] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 10:16 AM To: Seth Mattinen; nanOG list Subject: RE: Future of WiMax For business purposes such as fixed wireless access for small branch offices, it would seem that Wi-Max is superior to current GSM and CDMA proprietary networks in that the upload/download speeds are symmetric. It appears that GSM and CDMA networks are based on the asymmetric low upload bandwidth/high download bandwidth model, thus placing severe restrictions on business use for fixed locations.
