WiMax WiFi-N and More
Yi-Tan Weekly Tech Call #117
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
WiFi's global footprint keeps improving, but wouldn't a quantum leap forward be nice?
Cellular carriers are moving ahead with WiMAX, while WiFi router standards are moving toward the N spec, which is not quite nailed down yet. (WiMAX isn't an extension of WiFi, but rather a local-loop alternative to wired DSL or cable networks.)
With wireless seer Dewayne Hendricks, let's discuss:
- Where in the deployment timeline is each technology? What are their relative merits?
- Which features win out here? Ubiquity? Roaming?
- Who stands to benefit the most? Does this give cellular carriers a new lift, or spell their eventual doom?
