I would definitely say wimax also has a 7db advantage over wifi. But thanks for the article.
At one time we were looking into getting an FCC approval to use Ubiquiti in our 2.5Ghz Licensed band. After comparing to wimax in a severe non-line-of-site scenario we quickly dropped that idea. With wimax set to the same 26db output power as the rocketM2 we could load web pages down to about -86dbm, pings down to -90. With airmax we needed about -74 to reliably load a page. (remember the attenuations was trees not distance, it was only about 1.5 miles from the tower and the spectrum was crystal clean.) We do look forward to trying out LTE none-the-less.

LTE technology supposedly makes up for the 3db lower cpe transmit power as compared to wimax. But I had some concern since the cpes are also 4db lower antenna gain than our 16db wimax CPEs? I would think that last 4db matters a lot. Not so much for Sprint with lots of spectrum but for wisps with small chucks of bandwidth that use it for best penetration and have better options for customers with strong signals. It did have an external antenna port but an external antenna doubled the cpe cost. The Telrad CPE is the only higher gain one I have come across.

Ideally something highly directional/dish sized and at least 40-50cm in size.
