<snip> That is correct, however those companies are expected to be shipping product ( and are taking pre orders ) that will comply with the testing whenever the gods at wimaxforum decide to get off their collective arses and certify 5.8. Airspan for example, already has wimax 4.9 product and is getting FCC certification. So in conclusion, yes on product, no on the interop profile or tests yet. </snip>
Basically, a roadmap to WiMAX? Look at the result of Wi-LAN's Continuty Program & Roadmap to WiMAX? <ducking> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wi-LAN Continuity Program >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Wi-LAN Continuity Program Provides - Standards Based W-OFDM Performance Today - Clear Path to the Standards - Risk Free Migration Strategy - Investment Protection - Proven Future Proof Solution History shows that when new standards are created then there is a lot of buzz and expection and a lot of marketing noise about standards based products being available "soon." Again, history has shown that "soon" is often delayed until "later" or "much later." High expectations turn into dissapointment and frustration. The Continuity Program shows Wi-LAN's clear path to the standards. Customers can purchase Libra products today and be confident that their investment will be protected when WiMAX products become available >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Oh Really? February 2, 2006 Wi-LAN Inc. is transitioning out of its broadband wireless equipment business to concentrate solely on its intellectual property rights business. So -- this leads one to ask -- how "guaranteed" is a roadmap to WiMAX? -Charles ------------------------------------------- CWLab Technology Architects http://www.cwlab.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Thomas Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 11:38 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Un- licensed WIMAX? - Jeff On Apr 4, 2006, at 7:06 PM, Steve Stroh wrote: > > Neat trick... considering... > > There is not yet a WiMAX 5.8 GHz interoperability profile.
