To say the least -- a highly upsetting (to many operators) isse about WiMAX is the fact that not all WiMAX is created equal...
Sure, WiMAX talks about QoS, ARQ, encryption, scheduled MACs, etc -- but is it required for base certification today? Hehe -Charles P.S. -- BREAKING NEWS FOR WISP types -- I saw a WORKING DEMO of a MINI-PCI WiMAX card for 3.5 Some interesting CPE makers (they all use this mini-pci WiMAX card inside) http://www.ente.com.pl/default.aspx?docId=2555&mId1=2509 http://www.winetworks.com/products_win2000.html "The Book" CPE (IMO - quite nifty looking) http://www.quadmaxsystems.se/products.php ------------------------------------------- CWLab Technology Architects http://www.cwlab.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leary Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 10:00 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] 3650 equipment All WiMAX vendors will have some version of this type of CPE since that is a mandatory requirement for licensed band operators. Each will have their own attempts at special sauce to differentiate their offering. It will get very interesting come fall (which is not to say that these last 8 years have not been interesting!)

Please throw something out there for pricing.
