It should be noted that LTE wouldn't be as good or early available without mobile WiMAX. Even if the final outcome is not the network nirvana, it's a lot better than what was planned by the powerful forces. Comparing technology only, I think 802.16e failed to achieve a good PAPR (peak-to-average-p

Your best shot is back-hauling to a good capex x opex point as others pointed out, but if you find that doesn't work, consider using a mix of T1 bandwidth and one-way (better price and latency than two-way) satellite service, and policy-route traffic so some of it (usually web surfing, cache popull

I know they call it 4G, but it's not 4G. See http://www.wirelessweek.com/Archives/2007/10/WiMAX-is-3G/ Even LTE (when deployed) won't be 4G, only LTE Advanced will, but LTE will be much closer to 4G than WiMAX 802.16e, see http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/4g/3gpp-imt-lte-adva

Only good experience with them. The radios just work. Some were 11 GHz, some were 18 GHz, only one or two 7.5 GHz. Throughput matched the nominal 200/300/400 Mbps for small packets; for large packets, 170 out of 200 Mbps and 360 out of 400 Mbps; those values are consistent with "IP-based" (not SDH/
