Sprint Declares WiMax Ready for Launch

passed "all tests"
oh dude, 2.5GHz is just a kick ass band for this too. I can't wait to have to sit outside with a clear shot to the tower to use this!!!

The belief that higher frequencies don't have the same level of in-building penetration as do lower is a myth.
If that were true, then newer cordless phones that also operate in those frequency ranges should have less, not more range from the handset than older, 900 mhz phones, but this is definitely NOT the case.
WIMAX uses a different technology which will get more range.

Sorry to say but the laws of physics say it is true. If you have a digital spread spectrum cordless phone at 900MHZ it will have way more range than a 5.8GHZ phone using the same technology.

I guess someone needs to explain that to the cordless phone companies then. None of their older 900 mhz phones are rated as having anywhere near the range of the newer, higher frequency phones. Funny.

Um. . . that's because they're plugged into wall sockets and aren't designed to reach more than the area of average american house.
...As opposed to a tower pumping out mulitple megawatts of signal, specifically designed to cover a larger area (which would probably give you cancer within a week if you put it in the middle of your house)
