General Meeting: Jack Unger & WiMax
Mike Outmesguine opened the meeting showing some of the recently certified WiMAX products. A member brought his new Kyocera KR1 Mobile EVDO Router and using a Verizon EVDO card, we spontaneously created a Wi-Fi hotspot for everyone to use this meeting. Mike then compared the new Verizon XV6700 smart phone with the Sidekick 2.
We continue with an insightful talk from Jack Unger, author of Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide Area Networks, on “WiMAX Myths and Realities”. Jack helps us to understand what WiMAX really is and how it fits into the wireless ecology. He exposes some of the hype surrounding the new technology while revealing the promise and possibilites it could bring to users everywhere.
Location:Pasadena IHOP and their big meeting room
Presentaion:
- Jack Unger tunes us in to the current state of the IEEE 802.16 wireless technology known as WiMax: what it is, where it’s going, and what will it do when it gets there.
- With the 2006 WiMax summit happening right now in Paris, and the first Fixed WiMax products being certified just last month, the upheaval has begun. Media outfits like to tout WiMax as a Wi-Fi killer. But can it really replace Wi-Fi in the coming years? This and more questions will be raised. Let’s try to provide some answers!
