Taken from the Glossary of this website:

Long-Term Evolution:

An effort to develop advanced wireless mobile radio technology that will succeed current 3G WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA technology.

Although "LTE" is not the name of the standard itself, it is often used that way. The actual standard is called 3GPP Release 8.

LTE is considered by many to be a "4G" technology, both because it is faster than 3G, and because it uses an "all-IP" architecture where everything (including voice) is handled as data, similar to the Internet.


WiMAX:

WiMax is the trade name for a family of new technologies related to the IEEE 802.16 wireless standards.

WiMax has the potential for very long range (5 - 30 miles) and high speeds.

The initial ver...

Considering peak rates, LTE is faster at a possible 360 Mbps while WiMAX peaks at 144 Mbps for downloads (Upload: LTE = 80 Mbps WiMAX = 35 Mbps).

In real world scenarios, WiMAX is around 6-10 Mbps. I'm not sure what it is for LTE, but I assume slightly faster than WiMAX. However, once the technologies reach their next expected update, they both will can offer 1 Gbps for non-mobile or fixed users.

802.16m will be out in 2011 which will burst at up to 1gbps. real world busy network speeds will be between 50 and 100mbps.

LTE speeds in Verizon's test are comparable to WIMAX speeds.

Verizon and AT&T are both using LTE for their 4G networks, that alone should show that LTE will eventually be the standard. Sprint sucks, always has, and once again made a poor decision.

Scott,
When you make a statement like that, make sure to do your research and not just go on spewing nonsense. Sprints reasoning for going with WiMax is/was due to the fact that the technology exists now/today. Even the heads of both sprint/clear have come to terms with the fact that LTE is the way of the future. What they have both stated is that the technology does not exist, but when it does it will/can be a seamless transition. So, coming from the sales and marketing field. Sprint is doing a great job of bringing what is relevant and effective to their customer's TODAY not 2 years from tomorrow. Smart guy.
