What i think is right is: Wi-Fi and WiMax are standards and there are proprietary solutions existing for them. I think the statement above is confusing the reader, and is incorrect. Can someone tell me if i am right. or can someone explain the context of the statement above.
thanks,
Hi everyone,I am looking for information on the following questions..If the company you are with is implementing/planning/developing a proprietary solution, could you bear with me and answer the questions to help my research.1. Do you have a proprietary solution unique to your company? If so, What is the solution? How is it advantageous to a customer to use your solution?2. What are the specifications,service agreements?
3. Without affecting your privacy rules and regulations, is it possible to tell us the
percent revenue from proprietary solution? if not, atleast a range (say, X% - y%) is highly appreciated)4. General Problems faced by using proprietary solution for end user and for the firm?
5. How do you anticipate the broadband market structure to turn within 2008? Your strategic intent in coming years?
6. Whom do you consider your major competitor in the field? why?
7. Are you planning/developing/working on any other new proprietary solution?If so, When can we anticipate them in the market?
If you know any information for the questions above for companies like Motorola Canopy, Tropos Networks, Alvarion, Airspan, AzulStar, Navini,Firetide,BelAir, Nortel that would also help me in a way.
I sincerely thank you for your time and invaluable timely help.
Yours truly,
Sankar

802.16e is the final specification the others are progressions of the standard.
Here is a pretty clean article on it

(I know 802.16-2004 and 802.16e there are products or atleast there is going to be fullfledged products based on it)what about 802.16 a,b,c . Arent they just versions of 802.16? what else is the significance of a,b,c .ould someone help me on this.
802.16
Aimed to prepare formal specifications for the global deployment of broadband Wireless Networks. Also known as WiMax. Covers the frequency range from 10 – 66 GHz. LOS operations only
December 2001
802.16a
Uses frequency range (2GHz - 11 GHz). NLOS operations are possible. (NLOS was not possible in 802.16).
January 2003
802.16b
Uses frequency range from 5GHz-6GHz and provides real time video and voice with high QoS (Quality of Service).
March 2003
802.16c
Uses frequency range from 10-66GHz. Provides consistent implementation and hence facilitates interoperability. Line of Sight (LOS) service.
December 2002
802.16d – ( Now called as 802.16 -2004)
Uses frequency range (2GHz – 11GHz).Minor fixes to 802.16a and also compliance testing of various devices NLOS operations are possible.
June 2004
802.16e
Uses frequency range (2GHz – 6GHz). NLOS operations possible. This is the Mobile WiMax and considered to be the ultimate goal of WiMax.
December 2005

Other examples of "tweeking the standard" help you realize that a standard is standard because when you buy the 802.11(x) card/router you expect it to work with the others that you already have. Consequently compatability is more important than propriatary add-ons.

Now, I want to have my motorhome use a "high gain" antenna to capture weak WiFi signals and then repeat them to WiFi laptops around the motorhome. What's the way to implement that?

I wouldn't think there would be proprietary technologies when you're
dealing with 2 standards. Now, some manufacturers will overlay an
authentication or encryption scheme over the top of wifi/wifmax or they
may take the standard and "tweak" it slightly and sell it as
proprietary.
One that comes to mind is "SecNet 11" by Harris. They are marketing a
wireless network link that is based upon the 802.11 standard but they
moved the frequency from 2.4ghz to 8 or 9ghz and laid a proprietary
encryption scheme at layer3/4. I don't know of anyone who's purchased
it yet but the goal is to allow for classifed data transfer over
