Today we had a company come to us pushing wimax. Admittedly I've never used wimax, nor do I know a lot about it. From what I can see looking at Google images of the technology and how it's deployed, it looks no different than the PtP and PtMP that we all use with 900 MHz, or 2.4 and 5.x GHz.
Is the only advantage to wimax the presumably clearer and less-used frequencies upon which they operate? I had (evidently mistakenly) thought that perhaps wimax was a code word for some sort of mesh, and that's how it achieved NLOS service. However in looking at the network layouts on Google, it doesn't look like that at all. Rather, it looks like that add another AP to get around the obstruction(s), and simply backhaul it to an intermediary AP/tower to get it back to the PoP.
