just- Posted February 6, 2005 CID Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hey everyone anyone out there with WiMax that wants to post some scores and some pictures of their antenas? i have been reading some about it. It can achieve speeds up to 270Mbps, over a distance of 30miles (48.9Km). hard to believe, well it has to be on Line Of Sight (LOS) and has to be sunny, but still 270Mbps mannnn It is expected however that Wi-Fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 6, 2005 CID Share Posted February 6, 2005 I think that it is still in testing at this point... If it is available it would be in a limited market where line of site would be available.. like county communities where other land based options would not be practical for the company to invest in. here is a pic of a dude and his antenna.. it is on the top of a silo.. so line of site is important!!! http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-07-14-wireless_x.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falco Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 wow!! that is huge! and is that wimax? No, its not WiMax. It works on straight radio waves. They do make smaller antennas but I need the bigger one due to the longer distance I'm away from the tower. falco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
