The GSM carriers chose HSDPA for a while until that didn't really pan out.
Verizon was the first to LTE, but the last to 4G, IIRC. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darin Steffl" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2014 8:36:04 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] AeroNetPR wants to share this story The only wimax phones that existed were a few phones on sprint where clearwire had built out coverage. No other national carrier had wimax and it was never fully adopted. Now every national carrier and many regional ones have LTE networks and have committed to that standard. This is worldwide as well with many carriers going LTE as their new data network. Wimax was never fully adopted by any industry while LTE has shown it is. I agree with Patrick that many people here are ignorant of the standards and the scalability opportunities of LTE. I myself am ignorant of the facts as well but I'm learning not just from Patrick but reading about the new LTE releases coming up so I can respond here with educated answers. I suggest other operators do their research as well instead of just replying with childish answers to this thread. It is hurting our reputation to whine and complain about a new product and LTE standards when we don't know what we're talking about. This technology is working for operators who are using it so please continue to do more research as we hear from more people deploying it and then ask fair, educated questions like adults.

WiMAX was always at best a nichey thing, embraced by almost no large operator, save for a variety of small country fixed operators, not a global standard operating across most bands and universally accepted by carriers. Just as Wi-Fi has subsumed pretty much everything else in local area wireless (and is now in fact synonymous with WLAN), LTE will do the same for PMP outdoor beyond commonly accepted Wi-Fi ranges (WISP Wi-Fi ranges are not commonly accepted in a macro market sense, but rather exist as a proprietary model for a deeply niche market).

So much for the "LTE can't deal with unlicensed." Anyone want to bet against the billions being thrown into LTE for R&D and the top scientific minds using those funds? I expect they will easily overcome (to the extent needed) what some WISPs mistakenly think are intractable problems. Being a WISP and being a top EE/systems engineer are different disciplines.
