WiMax added to 3G Platform
2007/10/19 19:09The Korea Times has an article on Mobile WiMax being added to the 3G Platform:
The firms welcomed the news but remained guarded about its impact. They say that what really matters in the business is the market's reaction, and they may have to wait for a few years to be assured of success.
...
On the promising side, WiMax equipment manufacturers and the government say that the quality of the network will greatly improve from next year when more innovative technologies are deployed. The so-called ``Wave 2'' transmitters will use multiple transmission antennas at the same time, and ``smart'' antenna dishes will automatically turn to the direction where radio signal traffic is the heaviest, a Samsung executive said.
Additional details from Glenn Fleishman on WiMax Networking News:
Update: Glenn left a comment noting that WiBro isn't part of the 802.16e specification. I've replaced the WiBro references from the post.By gaining ITU approval for mobile WiMax (really, 802.16 in this context), this dramatically increases the odds that it can be deployed more widely by not requiring special approval or specific bands. It also provides mobile WiMax as a migration possibility for carriers that haven’t yet deployed 3G.
