The "black box" intrigues me.
My understanding is that the "black box" is a base station, which means it is located on some building somewhere in town, probably high up, and it transmits WiMAX for miles to each customer's CPE, which, in turn, delivers broadband to a home/office computer via a router or WiFi access point. Now Huff seems to pump up the fact that the "black box" has WiFi capability and DECT capability as well, as if this feature separates them from all other potential competitors. I can understand why DECT capability is significant, because anyone within the ~10 mile radius with a DECT phone can use it, but what is the significance of having WiFi on a WiMAX transmitter/receiver? WiMAX transmits and receives 10 miles and WiFi transmits and receives 200 yards max. I guess one small advantage is that there is no need for a CPE for someone near enough to the "black box" to access the WiFi signal, since most laptops' wireless cards don't read WiMAX directly, only WiFi. But a CPE and WiFi router placed somewhere in the vicinity of the "black box" solves that problem anyway, and the number of people within 200 yards of the box divided by the number of people within 10 miles of the box is such a small percentage, I don't see a significant benefit to that feature. Please explain if you think I'm misunderstanding something here.
