Jeff:
If a system hasn't been through the interoperability testing, it ISN'T
WiMAX - at all. Absent the certification of interoperability, at best
what the vendors will be shipping and selling prior to achieving
certification is a proprietary product with perhaps some WiMAX
features.
The entire point of WiMAX may be interoperability, but from a fixed
wireless standpoint interoperability is meaningless. When and if mobile
WiMAX becomes interesting interoperability will be important. Until then
there is no need for it in a fixed wireless network, so the
certification badge

Ok, so far Jeff is the only one to say
Matt:
The capabilities of WiMAX ALREADY exist in the proprietary products
of Alvarion, Redline, Aperto Networks, etc. WiMAX is a standardization
of the lowest-common-denominator of those capabilities, with certified
interoperability.
If you've waited this long for WiMAX capabilities, and
I didn't mean to imply that I am waiting on the technology. We use
Orthogon today, which provides us all the capabilities of WiMAX and then
some. However, the price point simply doesn't compete with Canopy for
last mile use, which is why we continue to use it. We are waiting on the
Agreed- interop is a great thing steve, but the problem is that
currently no wimax profile requires any level of interop beyond
simple bridging, which most operators will find that they want to use
the QOS features so they can sell services such as voip.
are these products i mentioned using

George,
I am sure there will be others
Actually,
I would argue that the great thing about wimax is not really interop-
its lower costs on CPE. Until there is an agreed upon profile for
WImax QOS, then literally everyone who buys wimax base stations will
use the same manufacturers client devices. The only major difference
is

From what we have seen most of the unlicensed WIMAX will come into its own
in the first half of 2007. The limitation for low cost units comes down to
the chipsets, we have tested prototype mini-pci WIMAX radios (5Ghz) but they
are far from ready for prime time.

No... but it's understandable that you might be confused (heck... I
might be confused...) but there is so much over-hyped horsesh*t being
slung around regarding WiMAX-certified equipment (not by any vendor in
particular) and there is so much ignorance on the part of journalists

Doesn't Alvarion and moto have some unlicensed WIMAX products about to

Wonder if Patrick Leary is still on this list?
