Kqc /DR- , Re: WiMAX and other alternatives- Thanks for posting another informative article.

Both this article and the article yesterday “Flarion acquisition ignites old debate” point out the advantages of two alternative technologies (F-OFDM and UMTS TD-CDMA) over the more hyped WiMAX” .

Interesting also, as yesterday’s article revealed, Qualcomm is the benefactor in both of these WiMAX alternatives.

1. F-OFDM via the Flarion acquisition.
2. UMTS TD-CDMA-
......To be implemented in conjunction with WCDMA networks
......Q’s License with UTStarcom Inc. probably includes UMTS TD-CDMA equipment although IPWireless is not listed as a Q licensee yet , probably needs one soon.

DR- is this your understanding?

TIA- jim

“So, they buy Flarion and effectively go into competition with themselves: Qualcomm and IP Wireless in the blue corner; Qualcomm and Flarion in the red corner”
