• Hong Kong’s Office of the Telecommunications Authority (“OFTA”) will accelerate the auction of 2.5 GHz spectrum to the fourth quarter of 2008, allowing for the introduction of WiMAX services to Hong Kong and its 426 square mile territory.

  Previously OFTA had said that the 2.5 GHz frequency band would not be auctioned until 2009 or 2010. The 2.5 GHz auction now will be combined with an auction of 2.3 GHz spectrum for Broadband Wireless Access Services (BWA), which already had been planned for Q4 2008.

واخيرا سيسكو يحصل navini

قبل بضعة ايام وقعت سيسكو لشراء wimax شركة navini الشبكات والجوال الخاصة بهم wimax الحل ripwave MX عن 330 مليون دولار. Navini وقد سبق معروف في wimax السوق "الذكيه beamforming" التكنولوجيا. سيسكو يعتقد navini 'sالذكيه wimax محطات قاعديه ستكون تماما الابتكار من سيسكو واي فاي ، شبكة واي فاي اللاسلكيه ونظام جعل البداية الى النهاية النطاق العريض اللاسلكيه الحل مع الملكيه الفكريه ngn الهندسه المعماريه. معظم الناس رؤيتها ، انها ستكون فرصة جيدة للحصول على حل لاسلكيه غير مرخص لها ان الجمع بين beamforming 802.16m و802.11n واي فاي الوصول ومنها بطبيعة الحال قوية الى النهاية المتنقله wimax الحل. بعد هذا التحرك wimax المتبادل سيجعل أكثر إحساسا في السوق لأن سيسكو هو الاسم التجاري ، واذا كان جهازك لا يدعم ويعمل مع منتجات سيسكو ومن الصعب القول الى مرحلة النضج وحقيقي wimax النظام. ولكن بعض الناس يعتقدون ان الأمر سيستغرق سنة واحدة على الاقل لدمج navini الى سيسكو وأيضا شركة انتل للاستثمار في clearwire الى wimax اصبح موحدا كما واي فاي. نأمل في ان تبذل المزيد من المنافسة ضد عمالقه مثل سامسونغ ، الكاتيل - لوسينت ، موتورولا ، alvarion الخ الشركات على wimax السوق.

Enfin CISCO obtient NAVINI

Il ya quelques jours, Cisco a signé acheter WiMax société Navini Networks et leurs mobiles WiMax la solution RipWave MX pour $ 330 millions. Navini a déjà connu dans leur marché WiMax "Smart Beamforming" technologie. Cisco estime Navini la puce WiMax stations de base seront complètement l'innovation de Cisco Wi-Fi, Mesh Wi-Fi sans fil et rendre le système de bout en bout sans fil à large bande avec la solution IP NGN l'architecture. La plupart des gens de voir, ce sera une bonne occasion d'obtenir sans licence solution sans fil qui combinaison de faisceau 802.16m et 802.11n accès Wi-Fi et bien sûr leur puissant de bout en bout la solution WiMax Mobile. Après ce déménagement WiMax interopérabilité sera plus judicieux dans le marché parce que Cisco est un nom de marque, si votre système ne fonctionne pas avec Cisco et supporte les produits, il est difficile de dire mûri et d'un véritable système WiMax. Mais certaines personnes pensent qu'il faudra moins un an à intégrer Navini dans Cisco et Intel aussi de l'investissement dans Clearwire WiMax à devenir aussi uniformisé que Wi-Fi. Espérons qu'il apportera plus de concurrence contre les géants comme Samsung, Alcatel - Lucent, Motorola, les sociétés Alvarion, etc WiMax sur le marché.

最后，思科公司和navini

数天前， 思科公司已经签署了购买的wimax公司navini网络和移动wimax解决方案的ripwave的mx为3.3亿美元。navini已经认识已经在wimax市场的"智能天线"技术。思科相信navini的智能wimax基站就会完全创新的思科无线网络，网格无线系统，使端到端的无线宽带解决方案与叶下一代网络体系结构。大部分的人看到，那将会是一个很好的机会，让无牌的无线解决方案的组合波束802.16米和802.11n标准无线网络接入和当然其强大的端到端移动wimax解决方案。经过这一举动wimax的互操作性，将更有意义，在市场中，因为思科是一个品牌名称，如果你的系统不工作，并支持与思科的产品，这是很难说的成熟与真实wimax系统。但是，有些人认为它会采取至少一年整合和navini进入思科也是英特尔公司的投资与clearwire到wimax成为标准化使得wifi 。希望这将使更多的竞争，对巨人如三星，阿尔卡特-朗讯，摩托罗拉，奥维通等公司对wimax市场。

CISCO schließlich bekommt NAVINI

Vor wenigen Tagen hat Cisco zu kaufen WiMax Unternehmen Navini Networks und Mobile WiMax Lösung RipWave MX für $ 330 Millionen. Navini hat bereits bekannt WiMax ihre "Smart Beamforming" -Technologie. Cisco geglaubt Navini's Smart WiMax Basisstationen wird komplett Innovation von Cisco Wi-Fi, Mesh Wi-Fi Wireless System und die End-to-End Breitband Wireless Lösung mit IP NGN Architektur. Die meisten Menschen sehen, wird es eine gute Gelegenheit, um unlizenzierte drahtlose Lösung, die Kombination von Keulenbildung 802.16m und 802.11n Wi-Fi Zugang und natürlich ihre leistungsstarken End-to-End Mobile WiMax Lösung. Nach diesem Schritt wird WiMax Interoperabilität machen mehr Sinn auf dem Markt, weil Cisco ist ein Markenname, wenn Ihr System nicht funktioniert und unterstützt mit Cisco Produkten ist schwer zu sagen, fällig, und ein echter WiMax. Aber einige Leute denken, dass sie sich mindestens ein Jahr zu integrieren Navini in Cisco und auch Intels Investition in Clearwire zu WiMax wird als standardisierte wie Wi-Fi. Hoffe, es wird mehr Wettbewerb gegen Giganten wie Samsung, Alcatel, Lucent, Motorola, Alvarion usw. Unternehmen auf WiMax Markt.
