FINALY CISCO GETS NAVINI

Few days ago Cisco has signed to buy WiMax company Navini Networks and their Mobile WiMax solution RipWave MX for $330 Million. Navini has already known in WiMax market their "Smart Beamforming" technology. Cisco believed Navini's smart WiMax base stations will be completely innovation of Cisco Wi-Fi, Mesh Wi-Fi wireless system and make the end-to-end broadband wireless solution with IP NGN architecture. Most of people seeing, it will be a good opportunity to get unlicensed wireless solution that combination of beamforming 802.16m and 802.11n Wi-Fi access and of course their powerful end-to-end Mobile WiMax solution. After this move WiMax interoperability will make more sense in the market because Cisco is a Brand name, if your system doesn't works and supports with Cisco products it is hard to say matured and a real WiMax system. But some people think that it will take a least one year to integrate Navini into Cisco and also Intel's investment into Clearwire to WiMax become as standardized as Wi-Fi. Hope it will make more competition against giants such as Samsung, Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, Alvarion etc companies on WiMax market.

WIMAX SIMULATION TOOLS LIST

For the best thing in WiMax is right calculation and optimization of the Radio Frequency and Capacity, Network planning, to do those things you have to choose the best simulation tool which works on the wimax system. I have tried to write a list of all the famous and mostly used simulation and planning tools in the undermentioned list. Even you can try freeware softwares to simulate your network design.

NEW PRE-WIMAX PCMCIA CARD FROM CLEARWIRE

Few days ago Sprint is shown their Mobile WiMax XOHM demonstration by driving in downtown Chicago. Now Clearwire is announced their Mobile WiMax from Motorola. The latest saviour of wireless broadband is at hand. Clearwire is finally shedding those clunky external modems, and is launching its very first pre-WiMAX data card to bring what it deems "True Broadband" to laptops. The PC card uses Motorola's pre-WiMAX OFDM tech, and doesn't require any extra power sources beyond your laptop's own precious juice. If you're luckily enough to be living in some random part of Clearwire's primarily-podunk US coverage area, you can be getting some 1.5Mbps wireless internets for $59.99 a month, plus a $6.99 a month fee to lease the PC card. You can buy the card straight up for $230, but that seems a bit excessive given the "pre" nature of the thing at the moment.
