All are saying 5bps/Hz for DL efficiency, 2.5bps/Hz for upload

        As stated earlier Wimax is frequency independent.  Wimax is also 
referred
to as 802.16x.  Last I knew they were up to revisionE, but I could be
wrong.  Wimax is the ³generic term² for 802.16 just like wifi is the
generic term for 802.11.  Wimax allows 8 bits per hertz no matter the
frequency used. 3.65 Wimax is the common frequency available to the normal
WISP operator.

Subject: [WISPA] Help Me Understand This WiMax Show We Had...

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.

Thanks
Sam
