Re:Real life experience with WIMAX (Score 1)

Here is the deal with Garth Freeman, CEO of Australia's "first WiMAX operator" and his mistakes. Too early of an adoption: Garth tested the fist run of the first WiMAX products from said vendor, that at the time had lower power and lower sensitivity than what is available in todays products. Also in accordance to the specifications and capacity and coverage calculations I've seen, that clearly state that the results he got would have been expected and known if they would have done the math. Outrageous Expectations: I've seen this so many times before, an operator believes some hype and deploys a system that will work perfectly in one set of circumstances and forces the system to do things that it was not meant to do, and then goes insane wondering why the system is not doing what he wants. (The old laws of physics vs the will of a CEO) Considering WiMAX is now in its approximate 6.5 release cycle that now has, up link sub channelization, 2x2 and 3x3 MiMO diversity options as well as higher power and receive sensitivities, the "technical" problems that Garth had, now have been pretty much resolved.
