Southern California Wireless Users Group

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.
