Explanations on HotZone 4010 specs versus deployed WiMAX would be most appreciated through somebody in the knowing.
I found reading the article very interesting. Now I am quoting and asking - If US cities can get eight of 30 square miles coverage and Hotzone can hit half a mile radius then, how do we compare the performance of the Globetel solution with what is already out there in Cayman Islands or some USA “communities”?
Any clue, anybody? Showmebill??? TIA
Quote 1) Whither WiMAX?
The Cayman Islands recently completed a WiMAX project that now provides 100 percent wireless coverage to all businesses and aims to have 100 percent residential coverage this year. In Russia, GlobalTel Wireless is partnering with Moscow-based Internafta to deploy wireless networks throughout 30 Russian cities over the next two years. In addition, communities throughout the United States are beginning to roll out WiMAX hot spots covering distances from eight to 30 square miles.
Once WiMAX becomes more pervasive, the idea of a portable, updatable online news and information device seems like a logical next step. And this is where electronic newsprint can shine: Why would people want to lug around a heavy laptop or try to squint at box scores on their cell phones if instead they could get the news and information they need from their e-device?
Quote 2) Last week the HotZone 4010 was successfully tested in Mexico City, confirming the range of the DECT/VoIP application with an 800-meter or one half mile cell
Quote 3) From showmebill post 22914
an interesting post on the half-mile range:
(per CEO Huff w/permission)
"Our ability to hit 800 meters is an unbelievable advantage. Every time you double the distance in transmission you cut your network backbone cost by 75%. This is a mathematical progression that is used in RF engineering."
