Mobile and Fixed Wimax (Some additional Information and my view)
I can’t sleep so I wanted to share some additional information with regarding Fixed and Mobile Wimax.
As you guys know Sprint is going to be spending $2-5 to $3B by 2008 on this network and will target more than 100 million customers within the next few years. Their 2.5 GHz spectrum portfolio as you guys know is 85% in the top 100 markets. Their spectrum includes the following areas; Seattle, Portland, majority of California, majority of Nevada, Denver, Colorado Springs, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, KC, West Palm, Tampa, Sarasota, North Carolina, most of Alabama, Pittsburg, Indy, Boston, providence, NYC, Philli, NJ, DC, and there are others.
This platform is obviously lower in both CAPEX and in Cost-Per-bit. Some research has mentioned...

😳 I can tell you wrote this in the middle of the night because of the grammer errors that are usually absent in your posts! 🤣
But seriously, that was well written and some great information in there for those that are not so familiar with WiMAX.

How dare you attack my grammar, when you did not even spell that word correctly and what is “grammer”?
No, I am just kidding. Ha-ha. Yea, I thought this would be useful because not many people understand what Wimax is and how it compares against its peers.
🤣 🤣 🤣

very good info im pretty keen on the stuff and i learned a lot of things. good to hear that nevada is one of the markets ready to go looking forward to wimax myself

You are welcome. That is what I try to do on this forum by providing excellent information and advice for those who need it. Obviously, there are those who don’t like me or my opinion/information, but there are those such as yourselves who do, and I appreciate it.
Wimax is true, it will happen, and should be interesting globally and domestically here in the United States.
If you compare Wimax to EV-DO and HSDPA/HUSPA, you will see that Wimax destroys them on every level, from capacity to coverage, to speed to application usage.
Glad you liked the information and if you have any questions please ask.

Do you happen to know what is scheduled to happen in the future between Wimax and CDMA also what will be the next PTT solution if they get rid of CDMA, will chat work with Wimax? Also if you can think of anything I didn't ask that you could think of in regard to this please let us know.
...
Great questions.
Sure, basically as of right now, CDMA will still be the choice for data and for voice as the newer revision of REV A becomes completely over the network. When Wimax will be launching onto the network, CDMA will still exist when it comes to voice and for data. Slowly, Sprint will offer those customers who use data heavily, or data centric users, devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, and data cards. As soon as it becomes nationwide, or in the areas where they want to deliver, they will offer more on the Wimax network than on the CDMA network, but they will provide dual Wimax/CDMA type devices kind of like the situation with CDMA/IDEN.
With regarding push to talk, Qchat on the REV A network will be the primary solution...

CDMA2000 evolution will include the following milestones:
# CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision A: The commercial availability and first deployments of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision A in Asia and North America will start at the end of 2006, with wide deployment in 2007. Revision A leverages CDMA's IP infrastructure and introduces enhancements that support latency-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and Instant Multimedia Messaging (IMM), and it allows operators to provide integrated voice, data and video services at a lower cost and across multiple networks. KDDI, LG Telecom, Sprint Nextel, Telecom New Zealand and Verizon Wireless are among the operators that have committed to or have begun deploying Revision A.

i know, i heard this a while ago, i dont know why they are switching either. i would like to know, if anyone has a good reason to choose a new IP only technology over EVDO revC.
...
I think they are looking to run everything off it. Including voice via VOIP. Do you think anyone will compete with lets say 50.00 a month unlimited everything? Or even 100.00 a month.

WiMAX blows away RevB for a few reasons...
cost/bit is significantly lower with WiMAX than any other competitive technology, meaning that Sprint will be able to charge customers less for the same functionality.
RevB will also be a significantly taxing technology overlayed upon the already overloaded RevA towers. VZW is supposedly using higher costs to offset the network load. WiMax will be combinable with RevA with dual-mode phones, unloading onto two networks.
It's a gamble, but I think it may just work. Doubt it if you want, but you're counting chickens before they are even conceived. Probably because it is so stylish to slam on Sprint these days.

Yeah, whats going on with that? I have better coverage than I ever did with Cingular, I don't have billing issues...I don't think that Sprint deserves their rep.....
...
It has been a while that Sprint’s brand is not that great when it comes to consumers because if you were aware or not, but a few years ago, they were very desperate to sign up any customer (regular) they can and even if they did not have good credit. They obviously changed their policy dramatically and the image for the company from regular consumers has been increasing. Obviously, with business consumers, it has always been high and that will remain that way.
Even other carriers have their problems and issues with name recognition and their policies along with some products and services.

Great points, but you forgot a few extra reasons; 1. Capacity and coverage. 2. Speed and latency.
