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"
who continue to call "pre-WiMAX" equipment "WiMAX" that it's a miracle
if anybody knows the truth anymore. Anyway, here's a link
http://www.wimaxforum.org/news/press_releases/FDD_Certifications
that (I think) summarizes the products that have received WiMAX
certification. WiMAX certification is band-specific, by the way. All the
equipment certified so far is for the 3.5 GHz band which is not legal in
the U.S. Equipment that will eventually be certified for use in bands
that are legal in the U.S. will have different performance
specifications. Anything equipment that is said to be "WiMAX-anything"
is NOT WiMAX.

What is going on with unlicensed WIMAX?
Is there any products released yet or about to be released?
Thanks
