WiMax Playing Catch-Up With WiFi
Posted Jan 23rd 2006 5:58AM by Michael Sciannamea
Because of the continued delaying of certification of at least 30 WiMax-enabled products by Spain's Cetecom Labs,
many analysts say WiMax is in danger of falling increasingly behind WiFi. In addition, with more citywide wireless
initiatives popping up across the country, most if not all are turning to WiFi technology to provide wide range access
to users.
Obviously, WiMax supporters want to make sure their products do what they're supposed to do, but they may
eventually have to be deployed overseas to prove their worth before finally finding a place in the U.S. Of course, the
pending field trials will certainly tell a huge part of the story.
