Roaming, key to the
success of WiMAX
By: Bram Jan Streefland
While a significant part of the future success of WiMAX will be dependent on successful roaming, its
implementation is complex and challenging to achieve. Bram Jan Streefland, co-founder and managing director of Trustive, Europe's largest wireless
hotspot provider explores what it will mean to the industry if we get this wrong, highlights how the industry must learn from the initial mistakes
made by WiFi, and proposes that the role of the wireless IP clearinghouse will be fundamental to its success.
WiMAX out of Band Backhaul Solututions
By: DragonWave
Companies from all
over the world have invested in spectrum and equipment to deliver
portable and/or
mobile high bandwidth services to consumers and business alike.
Companies have made a clear decision to invest in licensed wireless
access
technologies for the delivery of these services in order to guarantee
quality of service. WiMAX technology solves the last mile access
problem, but
how do you cost effectively backhaul the traffic generated by these
services?

WiMAX Blog: 3.65 GHz is not
Wi-Fi
- The FCC's recent Report and Order opening 3.65 GHz as "non-exclusive
access" might have many potential WiMAX operators equating it with unlicensed spectrum such as 2.4 or 5.8 GHz. While it is true that 3.65 GHz use
will not enjoy the protections of a licensed spectrum, there are a number of differentiators.
Sprint & Clearwire - I found the news that Sprint Nextel and Clearwire would offer mutual roaming agreements to their
subscribers encouraging for the industry. I invite readers to travel back in time to the happy year of 1999 when tech companies put out all sorts of
utterly meaningless press releases and the stock prices jumped off the charts.
