Everything you need to know about WiMAX
Future of Mobile WiMAX Network in USA after the Sept 30 Launch
Sprint’s WiMAX Network XOHM officially launches on 8th October 2008
The Mobile WiMAX network of Sprint, XOHM, is now officially being launched on the 8th of October 2008 at Baltimore. The announcement of the official launch comes after many delays and postponed launches for the network for a variety of reasons. The wait is finally over, with the network already “running” and providing performance as expected.
While there are many Mobile WiMAX networks in operation around the globe, the one from Sprint has always held a special place owing to the scale of the launch, the quantum of spectrum held by the Sprint, Clearwire combine and the new devices from Intel, Samsung and Nokia which are moving in tandem with the proposed launch. It is the new devices and their performance which will distinguish the new wireless medium from the broadband provided by Mobile Networks and expectations are high that once Mobile WiMAX delivered wireless connectivity is available, the existing networks will start looking more and more as relics from the past.
The industry expects the Mobile WiMAX networks to prove themselves in an environment as the Mobile industry moves onto new products with HSDPA and EV-DO connectivity.
The partnership of Google, Intel and Cable companies such as Comcast point to a whole new world of devices, applications and delivery models for mobile media. With Intel having announced embedded devices with WiMAX capability in addition to 802.11 b,g and n WiMAX can be expected to become common in the not too distant future.
What distinguishes the WiMAX launch in the US is the scale of the launch as well as the mindboggling amount of spectrum which is available with Sprint and Clearwire, which can enable many Video based applications and give a new meaning to existing services such as YouTube.
Perhaps, before the end of the year it may become the "in-thing" to design devices around WiMAX connectivity as they are done today with 3G or HSDPA.
