Re: [WISPA] One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service
Whose gear? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Matt Liotta [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 11:07 AM Subject: [WISPA] One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service And Provide the Atlanta Metro Market with New Wireless Offerings ATLANTA (January 9, 2008) - One Ring Networks announced today that it will be launching WiMAX service in the Atlanta Metro area using licensed spectrum it was recently granted. The grant which gives One Ring access to 50Mhz of spectrum between 3650Mhz and 3700Mhz has favorable propagation characteristics. WiMAX is a wireless technology which allows broad coverage with data-rich connectivity unlike Wi-Fi which is unlicensed and limited to small hot-spots. One Ring will couple this spectrum with WiMAX equipment to offer a wide array of wireless business offerings. By using the company's existing and extensive wireless infrastructure, the entire metropolitan Atlanta area and surrounding cities can expect to see new, economical, and innovative offerings as a result of the company’s WiMAX network. One Ring has aggressive rollout plans that will bring WiMAX to all major Atlanta sub-markets in 2008. Additionally, the company has plans for a multi-market initiative to expand the reach of its services to businesses throughout select metropolitan markets. “Our new WiMAX offering will allow us to provide Atlanta businesses with a whole new value proposition,” said Matt Liotta, CEO of One Ring Networks. “Businesses across metro Atlanta are increasingly discovering the limitations of T1s and the need for truly diverse telecommunication services.” In the United States, an estimated 2 percent of buildings have access to fiber. That means 98% of businesses don't have any access alternative. As a fiber and fixed-wireless provider, One Ring now has the infrastructure to offer access solutions to both large and small businesses regardless of their proximity to fiber.“Companies often struggle with business continuity issues related to their telecom infrastructure,” said Kris Maher, Director of Sales for One Ring Networks. “Most businesses can't afford a fiber build and are excited to learn about a wireless solution.” One Ring's deployment of WiMAX technology will emerge as an alternative broadband solution for a range of business services where deployment of landline-based technologies is cost prohibitive. About One Ring Networks One Ring Networks operates one of the largest hybrid fiber-fixed wireless networks in the United States and is one of the few carriers offering end-to-end telecommunications and networking services that are truly diverse. Over its state-of-the-art network, One Ring offers high-speed data services and feature-rich IP phone services.

Re: [WISPA] [SPAM] One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service
Slight correction: Mobile WiMAX profiles for 2.3 / 2.5 Fixed WiMAX profiles for 3.5 (non-US), but NOT 3.65 GHz in the US because of the unique contention protocol requirements (systems for 3.65 GHz should be considered proprietary and quite possibly non-interoperable). NO formal WiMAX profile, fixed (there will eventually be one) or mobile (there will never be one) for 5.x. While 5.x is in the 802.16d spec, the interoperability profile, testing, and certification of WiMAX Forum has yet to be taken up.

Re: [WISPA] One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service
Do your radios have sub channelization? I Congratulate you on the build, but I have to question if stuff like this is not part of the total misunderstanding of WiMAX (what it is and isn't). I really don't think WiMAX is the right term, Maybe WiMAX based, but it definitely is not WiMAX. We just turned up our first WiMAX base station today. Running 2.5Ghz and using 16e ready hardware. I'm Not trying to steal glory here, just making a point.

Re: [WISPA] One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service
I'd like to make a point in return. This is a press release, and it is generally used for marketing and publicity. Who the flip cares about the exact nuances in technology? If Matt's company expresses their product in terms that their target market understands, then it is good marketing. It's not like their customers are going to do deep layer1 and 2 analysis to see that their bandwidth is coming over the one true WiMax. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and you're talking to kindergarteners, just go ahead and call it a duck and reeducate the 1/1000 of 1 percent who become ornithologists when they grow up and care to learn the subtle nuances. I know companies that sell/sold wireless DSL. Technically, this is a complete absurdity. But, I'd bet that it did a good job of communicating the concept--which is, after all, the point of marketing. I'd imagine that they do better then companies that sell High bandwidth 802.11A/B/G Data Traffic Transport Solutions. There are service providers who still keep on trying to sell VoIP with multi page explanations about how the analog voice get digitized, packetized, encapsulated, and 20 other gazillion processes that no one really cares about unless they like reading RFCs every time they make even mundane purchase decisions. Then there's Comcast who, while definitely not hurt by the existing customer base and financial resources and technical infrastructure, became the fourth largest telco in quite a short amount of time. They did this by having the marketing common sense to sell telephone service, not Voice over IP. If the customers understand what Matt's product is better because he calls it WiMax, then great. It sure sounds better than Modified pre-release quasi 802.16. You're in business to sell products...and, that involves communication. Using language that people can understand sells products and, in the end, gets more truth across--if that is your objective here--by actually communicating with people as opposed to using language that people just don't understand--nor care to. -Clint Ricker Kentnis Technologies On Jan 10, 2008 7:49 PM, Mike Bushard, Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do your radios have sub channelization?
