In wifi and wimax technology, which is better for wireless broadband internet access into residential homes?
How do both technology work?
Answer
Comparing wimax to wifi is akin to comparing apples to oranges. initially it’s easy to see why the comparison would exist, as most people think wimax is merely a more robust version of wifi. indeed they are both wireless broadband technologies, but they differ in the technical execution and ultimately their business case is very different. in addition to the technical differences that exist, the marketplace difference is that equipment is more or less non-existent for wimax and certainly not geared towards a residential environment with very high pricing to be expected. it will take at least 2 years to see equipment of mass market uptake pricing.
