The other thing we found with the WiMax stuff (we had Purewave not 320), it was (in our experience) pretty much a best effort system. We couldn’t guarantee speed or latency, and we had to tell people no gaming or VoIP and your video might buffer. And it was very limited in how many subscribers we could put on it, given that everybody wants to stream Netflix in the evening, plus now everybody is installing security cameras that stream to the cloud. Essentially it could keep a connection up, but it was useless for all the things people use the Internet for these days. It was like selling someone a car but telling them they couldn’t drive in the rain, they couldn’t go over 25 mph, and they couldn’t put a bunch of kids or groceries in it. Useless. I have always suspected TVWS would have the same issues, for different reasons, it just doesn’t seem to have enough capacity for residential broadband, maybe OK for industrial machine-machine.

We ONLY need it for tree penetration challenged customers. I have a healthy skepticism on 3.65 Medusa being able to magically work better that standard 2.4 Ghz penetration, seeing the regular 450SM in 3.65 performed as expected compared to a 2.4 Ghz 450SM, meaning not as well. Seeing that LTE or Wimax far exceeds normal 2.4 Ghz gear, expecting 3.65 in 450 series (even Medusa) is a strong leap of faith. We are open minded but skeptical of these recent claims. We are not happy with the LTE options available ATM, having field tested Baicells and Bliniq for a while now.
