Clearwire Further Opens the Door to LTE Switch
How necessary was this change?
Could this be done through a firmware upgrade?
Second) Yes. LTE and WiMax are software controlled. They both use the same technology. This is why I don't get the hate on WiMax. Everyone in the markets has the chance to experience this technology at this very second. Yet the haters chose to wait.
I find this most intriguing.
GettingSleepy said:
What?!? Its the same technology? So its not like GSM vs CDMA?
WiMax and LTE are not the same technology. WiMax provides a broadband experience via microwaves. LTE provides a broadband experience using a radio platform. There is a tremendous difference. WiMax is more like WiFi but with greater range and less interference and LTE is UMTS with more muscle, better radios and upgraded data lines (should be fiber optics).
"bursts", and not "theoretical".
QoS will dictate speeds
Business (demand) will dictate price.
Consumers will decide on what works for them.
I'm more concerned about a service that works reliably than a high priced unstable service that doesn't work where I need it.
