Alvarion Says Pre-WiMax Means WiMax
Commitment

Alvarion Says Pre-WiMax Means WiMax
Commitment 06/18/2004 03:58 PM
Alvarion VP says that the company's new platform is ready for WiMax, backed by their promise to upgrade it: A few weeks ago, I wrote about Alvarion's BreezeMax platform and took the company to task for not spelling out precisely what they were promising customers when saying that BreezeMax was their WiMax platform. WiMax hasn't reached a final certification stage yet for equipment that complies to IEEE 802.16a: broadband wireless point-to-point service in the 2 GHz to 11 GHz range for licensed and unlicensed bands. That certification standard might not be ready until 2005; likewise, chips designed for it could be that far ahead, too. I wrote in May that Alvarion should have said We're not selling WiMax equipment, but something we believe we be so close to it that only firmware upgrades are required. I also wrote, Interestingly, while they say futureproofed on one page, they don't mention whether purchasers would receive free hardware upgrades if the WiMax standard as deployed is too different to allow firmware changes to this equipment. Alvarion wanted to clarify what they meant, and I spoke today with Carlton O'Neal, the vice president of marketing for the company. I asked O'Neal if Alvarion is guaranteeing its customers--as a few other firms have apparently done in a limited way--that BreezeMax would be a zero-cost WiMax upgrade when the final standard was available. He said it would. O'Neal said that the company had built the platform to allow software upgrades, firmware upgrades, and hardware upgrades. They believe that with the current state of the WiMax standard they can entirely rely on software and firmware to handle full WiMax certification: "Our hope, our plan, is that it's software and firmware," he said. Their last resort would be hardware, but "we're prepared to do that." Alvarion has been developing the BreezeMax system for three years, and decided that given the state of WiMax and their own readiness, they needed to bring the carrier-grade equipment into the marketplace with a commitment to make this their flagship WiMax platform even though the standard is still under development. What they deploy today works, and some of their customers may choose to stick with it far past when interoperable WiMax hardware and their own upgrades are available. Alvarion will eventually rely on chips built by Intel to power their WiMax gear, and Intel's circuits aren't due until 2005 at this point. But...

Mushkin Redline Performance Memory

Mushkin Redline Performance Memory 06/17/2005 06:16 PM

The concept of overclocking has flown by me in the past and still does. [This was written by Intern Travis. Please yell at him. - Ed.] For those people who enjoy pushing their computers to the absolute limits, Mushkin has a new type of memory for you. They have released their appropriately named "Redline" performance series memory. One of the big kickers is that this RAM is rated to run around 3.4 volts, which could be considered "redlining" on many motherboards. To counter this, the memory also requires active cooling. This memory is available at $179 for 1GB.

WiMax

WiMax 04/18/2005 07:55 AM

Wireless Internet access about to go extra 5 miles: We had WiMax-like service here in Sioux Falls as a test market for Monet Mobile. You could surf the Web from a laptop in the back seat of your car driving down the interstate.

Sadly, it looks like Monet was a bit ahead of their time. If they had only made it one more year, they'd have hit the coming WiMax craze.

WiMax is essentially high-powered Wi-Fi, the kind of wireless Internet now common in coffee shops. Wi-Fi's range is much shorter, usually enough to cover only one or two buildings.

[...] Intel is working on a future chip that will go into laptops allowing them to hop onto a WiMax network anywhere there's a signal. WiMax may also incorporate Internet phone-calling technology, turning it into a land-line and cellular-like phone service.

And here's a benefit we've talked about before: less stuff.

[...] there's a good chance WiMax will be a hit, especially because it saves carriers the trouble of laying cable.

A tsunami can't break a WiMax connection, provide the sending and receiving points are intact, right?

Pre-WiMax at 100 mph

Pre-WiMax at 100 mph 04/13/2005 08:12 PM
The Brighton Express uses pre-WiMax gear to achieve 60 miles of coverage at 100 mph: Peter Judge reports from the London-to-Brighton line that although coverage is yet contiguous--that's still to come--the service offers seamless performance across each base station zone by relying Wi-Fi in the carriages to WiMax base stations along the route. T-Mobile is involved in this unwiring--which was carried out by Nomad Digital--and is offering the service at no charge while they tune the system. The estimate is that the 37 802.11d-based Redline devices will need to be increased to 60, or a density of about one per mile, to provide complete coverage. The limit on speed right now is the ADSL backhaul of 2 Mbps per base station. The service switches to GPRS when out of range of WiMax bonding three GPRS devices. Only one train out of 15 is equipped so far. T-Mobile will charge £5 per hour or £13 per day for service starting in June....

WiMax: Where and When

WiMax: Where and When 07/12/2004 05:22 PM
Parks Associates senior analyst Michael Cai's recent report on fixed broadband wireless technology may offer a more realistic view of the future than that painted by some vendors: He studied developed and developing countries around the globe and while he found that each region is on a slightly different path, he doesn't expect to see volume commercial deployments of WiMax until 2006. Those deployments will be mainly in Europe and Asia. That timeframe is slightly behind the second half of 2005 timeframe that the WiMax Forum and some vendors are hoping for. While the standardization process is on schedule, the processes for certification and interoperability are likely to slow down progress. "Who knows where conflicts emerge as they go down the process," Cai said. Even if commercial products come out in the second half of 2005 on schedule, carriers will likely want to test products for three to six months before rolling out a commercial network, he said. Cai doesn't expect large scale demand for WiMax networks in the United States until 2008 or 2009, though he cautions that there are so many uncertainties here that it's difficult to predict. The deployment of WiMax here may depend on changes the FCC may make to its spectrum policy for the 2.5 Ghz bands. But in the meantime, Cai expects existing wireless ISPs to migrate to WiMax using the unlicensed bands. "All they care about is cost," he said. Such operators don't have the resources to test equipment or support trials so they're interested in standards-based products that essentially guarantee good performance. Cai also has some interesting theories on which areas of the world will have the most WiMax users in the near future. While many observers suggest that the developing nations that don't yet have strong telecom infrastructure will make up the largest markets for WiMax, Cai says that developed markets will at least initially account for the highest number of subscribers. "Even if [WiMax reaches] 20 percent of the underserved market in the U.S., that's way larger than the total market in a lot of developing markets," he said. He believes that over the next few years, most of the developing countries will continue to lack demand, lack PC penetration, and lack the disposable income to support WiMax. "At least until 2009, we'll probably have more WiMax subscribers in the underserved markets in the developed countries compared to emerging markets...

WiMax From WalMart?

WiMax From WalMart? 08/10/2004 03:53 AM
Over at the Institute for the Future, they're wondering if WalMart might end up getting into the broadband business by hooking up WiMax base stations (once such equipment is actually available) on all their stores, covering much of the US in broadband. It's an interesting theory, and gets the attention of those who think that telecoms are a dying breed. Of course, it's really not that easy. Over at TheFeature, I've written up a longer piece looking at some of the challenges a company like WalMart might face in offering broadband services. However, it's certainly not impossible to count them out. After all, who thought Starbucks would be in the internet access business in the first place? If you take that to a larger scale, perhaps Walmart could get into the WiMax business as well. A more interesting question, however, may be how the world is going to look when there are plenty of "virtual" network operators, where one company offers up their brand for others to put on a network. Virgin has built up quite a set of businesses doing this, and in the mobile space, MVNOs are a hot topic. However, could companies do this for just about any kind of telecom/broadband offering... and more to the point, is there a real benefit in doing so? It's cool for a big brand name company to think they can suddenly get into a technology services business just by licensing out their brand name, but won't there be some risks (a la AT&T' s annoyance with AT&T Wireless' trampling of the brand) and some questions about just why you want to buy your internet service from Coca-Cola?

TI Doubts WiMax

TI Doubts WiMax 09/21/2004 06:29 PM
TI, which is not heavily into WiMax like its competitor Intel, says WiMax won't be very effective at bringing broadband to the home: It's true that it's far from certain that WiMax will be anywhere near the success that Intel promises, but most of the reasons TI gives here are pretty weak. Because China hasn't jumped on the bandwagon and because broadband wireless standards have failed in the past doesn't prove that WiMax will fail. If WiMax products have a lower price tag and are more robust than previous attempts at broadband wireless, the technology has a chance of success. WiMax can be far easier to deploy than most wireline technologies and appears to offer a good alternative to wireline especially in developing regions of the world. But there are plenty of reasons that WiMax could fail, which aren't mentioned by the TI executive. In the United States only a few spectrum holders own the licenses that would be ideal for a WiMax deployment and it's not clear that they're interested in the technology. One of those companies, Nextel, has expressed interest in using other proprietary technologies in the spectrum. Other large operators that don't own such prime spectrum are unlikely to want to execute a major deployment in unlicensed frequencies. The TI executive suggests that a portable or mobile version of WiMax might have a better chance of success. While future iterations of WiMax may sound more promising than the initial fixed version, it's very difficult to know today what the market will look like by the time a mobile or portable solution becomes available. By then, other technologies may have leapfrogged WiMax. It's also not clear that WiMax will indeed result in low-cost equipment for operators. Some wireless ISPs have said that vendors they've spoken to have said that the first couple generations of their base stations won't be interoperable with clients from any vendor. That lack of interoperability may not be very attractive for many operators and may prohibit prices from dropping. Ultimately, there are plenty of forces working against WiMax but much of what the TI executive says here sounds to me like sour grapes....

Economist Tackles WiMax

Economist Tackles WiMax 02/01/2005 09:13 PM
And I mean tackles! Pins it to the mat: This article lays out the land in a way that I appreciate: WiMax is an incremental enabling technology not a radical shift in view. No WiMax equipment has been sold yet. None will be sold for at least six months. When it does--and pre-WiMax turns into true WiMax--customer premises equipment will still be pretty steep compared to commodity devices available today. I had a long talk with SkyPilot the other day, which uses 802.11a-like technology to offer fairly good broadband speeds across long distances. Their tech is totally commoditized. Their CPE cost is $349--for a single unit. It goes down quite a lot (they wouldn't say how much) in quantity. They're about to announce some big customers for their production gear. WiMax isn't about whether broadband wireless is a viable service to offer. It certainly is. There's no question about that. It's whether a particular instanciation of that technology has any bearing on the deployment unless is has particular advantages that make something possible that wasn't. (That's part of the issue with early MIMO gear for the home, too.) As I read this Economist article, the real issue isn't whether a company like Qwest would choose SkyPilot's 802.11 over Alvarion's pre- or post-certified WiMax. Rather it's whether "plenty good enough today for real deployment" trumps "much better but much more expensive in the future until we deploy a lot of it." WiMax has a huge array of benefits for carriers that want to roll out WiMax in the same way they deployed DSL: few truckrolls (because of good non line of sight protocols) and lots of ratcheting in bandwidth offered to provide discrete services that mimic DSL and cable modems. These benefits are more appealing to carriers that are trying to integrate broadband wireless into an existing portfolio. These carriers are also in a better position to bundle applications on top of WiMax thus making it more reasonable for them to eat or subsidize a $500 CPE cost than even a large regional ISP or municipality. WiMax might be the flavor that telcos and related firms opt for because of consistency, standardization, and technical features. But it doesn't mean that potentially billions of dollars of other gear might not be sold in the meantime that has a very similar function and utility for the non-operator market. The article also walks...
