Wimax Qos is better because it relies on guaranteed bandwidth. 802.11 relies on a class of service. Wimax Qos (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieee802.org%2F1%2Ffiles%2Fpublic%2F802_architecture_group%2Fpresentations%2F802-QoS.ppt&ei=mpItR6W3GYG-pgTw_N2RBQ&usg=AFQjCNGNjfZD9gMOx9el80jAC3RiaZK_iA&sig2=150l2CMnHWbmxIdjZX-noQ> )

Greater bandwidth, I *might* believe, but I'm a bit skeptical. Especially better bandwidth combined with better range. I don't buy the better range other than from unpolluted radio spectrum. WiMax is limited by the FCC to the same power levels as WiFi for omnidirectional transmission, and the most transmissive frequencies are within delta of the 2.4GHz band (2.3GHz and 2.5GHz). I'd like to see some technical analysis rather than marketing blurbs. -a -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
