Technology only gets better as time goes on, stretching its capablities and feeling out new territories.  Of the many areas in which technology may improve, speed is monitered the most.  So, it is no surprise that Apple’s ad campaign for the new iPhone emphasizes that the device is even faster than its previous model.
The iPhone 3GS, as a competitor to Palm’s Pre and other devices like it, is expected to contain extremely advanced features and applications.  In addition, its debut may have an impact on the future of WiMAX if …

This weekend Daryl Schoolar, a Senior Analyst with the market research firm In-Stat who has been covering all topics about broadband since 2000, wrote an interesting article on GiGaom unleashing WiMax’s business perspective in the upcoming months and years, also disputing  Nokia’s recent comparison of WiMax with Betamax.
“…I believe there is a market for WiMAX. WiMAX’s problem comes from that fact when people talk about it, they do so within the context of the cellular technologies like LTE — but WiMAX is suited to a different use case altogether. Unlike …

Recessions hurt.
We’ve previously noted that decision-makers at many of the technology industry’s leading corporations seem to have a lot of faith in WiMAX, specifically in Clearwire’s United States venture. The catch is that the market does not share their optimism.
Intel’s losses after acquiring Clearwire now total $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion – significantly more than the previous estimate of $50 million. Meanwhile, Nokia is pulling the plug on WiMAX-enabled mobile devices designed specifically to work with Clearwire’s networks. At present, it’s a sensible strategy for Nokia, because mass sales of …

In spite of the failed partnership with Clearwire and their current financial strain, Sprint expects to launch Xohm as planned. We could be experiencing a wireless broadband network from Sprint in several major cities, such as Chicago and Washington DC, as early as spring of this year.

InformationWeek reports that Intel, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Network demonstrated an early version of a Wi-Fi/WiMAX network solution at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The technology is designed to allow mobile devices to seamlessly move from a Wi-Fi connection to a WiMAX connection with no disruption in internet access.  It works by responding to several different triggers; for example, a weakening Wi-Fi signal. Before the Wi-Fi signal is entirely lost, one is able to simultaneously connect to a WiMAX signal, leaving any online work unaffected by the …
