NextNet is 2Watts standard, 5Watts with filters. Very noisy system too.

All, Bear in mind, Clearwire uses their own base station technology, which is mostly Nextnet base stations ( now motorola ) . Nextnet's performance is not wimax, just really high power base stations and CPE. 4 QAM / 2 WATT output power / 8dbi directional antenna on the CPE and I think around 10 watts on the base in power? ( originally was nextnet, then mccaw bought them for 50 million, then sold it to Motorola in exchange for 500 million in investment ) - Jeff On Oct 4, 2007, at 11:04 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 2.5 has great range & penetration.
