WiMax/WiBro Routers Available in South Korea!

max — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:56:06 +0000

While Sprint is still trying to get WiMax up and running in America by year 2010, (that’s the year it should be available in every city in the US, according to a Sprint rep I talked to last week) South Koreans have been enjoying it for the last couple years and now they have a WiBro router that instantly turns any location into a WiFi hotspot with fast upload/download speeds than you can imagine.

Of course, you can pick one up in South Korea (and use it in South Korea only) but I can’t wait till Sprint gets their act together so I can get one here too.

WiBro, a local variant of mobile WiMAX, provides faster data rates than third-generation (3G) services, with download speeds of around 37 megabytes per second and upload speeds of 8 megabytes per second.

However, in one of the world’s most wired nations, WiBro has struggled to gain traction. KT has spent more than 730 billion won on its WiBro business since its commercial launch in 2006, but has little to show for it. SK Telecom, the mobile telephony king and the country’s other WiBro operator, has it even worse.

Are you a Wi-Fi fan?

David Allen — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:00:38 +0000

This is something that many people are going to think why? But then again why not, it is a fun thing that looks good and represents something; there is the added bonus of a lot of people not even knowing what it means which is also a fun thing.

This Wi-Fi fan will keep you cool on those hot days, when there is not air about and you just have to get a nice breeze, unfortunately, there is not much more information.

Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition Out!

max — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:23:09 +0000

Nokia N810 WiMAX rolls out, it’s a tablet PC/Oversized PDA/UMPC that is the very first WiMAX-enabled device you can buy today. It looks like the industry has been keeping WiMAX on the down-low, meaning they were ALL making WiMAX devices probably at least a year before. (mostly for Asian countries who’ve had WiMAX for last 2 years now)

Now, everyone who ever knew complained WiMAX will suck can just shut up, thank you very much, We still have a long way to go but hey, we got 4G speeds now, take that AT&T and iPhone!

Anyways, you can get the Nokia N810 here.

Acer launches WiMAX-enabled Laptops Aspire 4930-6862 and Aspire 6930-6771!

max — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:55:01 +0000

Acer has just launched the very first laptops in the U.S. that are WiMAX-enabled. Of course, people in Asia have been getting WiMAX laptops for the last year or so but hey, let’s just celebrate the fact that WiMAX is beginning its 4G speeds in the U.S. This is just the start folks, you will begin to see people use WiMAX over all that other AT&T 3G crap.

SAN JOSE, Calif. and BALTIMORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Acer America, part of the world’s third largest PC company (source: Gartner data, 2Q 2008), today unveiled its first WiMAX-enabled notebooks – Aspire 4930-6862 and Aspire 6930-6771 – in support of the nation’s first U.S. WiMAX wireless broadband network launched by XOHM in Baltimore. Demonstrating the company’s focus on delivering innovative technology solutions, the Aspire 4930-6862 and Aspire 6930-6771 are WiMAX-enabled Intel® Centrino 2-based notebooks with the first-ever combined WiMAX/Wi-Fi module, previously codenamed “Echo Peak,” part of the Intel WiMAX/Wi-Fi Link 5050 Series.

Samsung SWC-E100 ExpressCard and WiMAX is in Baltimore!

max — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:53:54 +0000

Well, the great news is that WiMAX service that I have been complaining about for years is finally here but only still in Baltimore.

We should expect WiMAX to become available in more areas and why is this good?

WiMAX is about 5-10 times faster than Sprint’s CDMA network, meaning this WiMAX broadband card will allow you to surf at Cable DSL speeds anywhere you go.

But until there’s more coverage, you will have to wait.

This WiMAX card is actually cheaper than most broadband cards out on the market today at $59.99 plus there’s no contract, a really good deal if you ask me.

As it’s the first of its kind, the E100 is the only XOHM card we’ve tested so far, so we can’t compare it to other WiMAX equipment. Our overall average speeds were 2.3Mbps down and 915Kbps up, which fits into Sprint’s advertised range of 2-4 megabits down and 500-1500Kbps up. But speeds varied widely depending on signal strength: we achieved downloads as fast as 7.1 megabits, and as slow as 620 kilobits.

Samsung WiMAX Wave2 Products!

max — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:16:54 +0000

Isn’t it great that Samsung has probably developed over couple hundred WiMAX devices in the last few years while we, in the U.S., don’t even get to see WiMAX yet?

But no worries, as soon as Sprint gets their stuff together, we should be able to take advantage of the numerous different WiMAX devices available already by Samsung.

The good news?

They just rolled out with WiMAX Wave2 products which is even faster than the standard WiMAX.

Whoo Hoo! Do expect to be watching live streaming HD movies in the bus real soon with the new WiMAX.

The really good news?

The WiMAX technology has been tested abroad in Korea already with success. It’s only matter of time before we get hands on one here.

Samsung Electronics announced today it has been awarded with the world’s first WiMAX Forum Wave2 certification for both ‘Base Station’ and ‘Mobile Station’ which support the 2.5GHz band, at the WiMAX Forum Global Congress 2008, in Amsterdam.

The Mobile WiMAX Certified products are commercial grade ‘Mobile WiMAX Wave2 Base Station’ and ‘Mobile Station,’ the Express card type device, using Samsung’s own Mobile WiMAX Wave2 modem chipset, which will be commercially used in the Sprint-Nextel Mobile WiMAX service later this year.

AT&T Confirms High Speed Rollout in Time for iPhone 2.0 – Will it be fast enough?

max — Fri, 23 May 2008 06:28:02 +0000

AT&T confirms their higher speed 3G wireless speeds when the new iPhone rolls out. At 1.4 Mbps Down and 800 Kbps Up, will this be fast enough?

The answer is already clear. Their current 3G speeds are so slow that you can’t even really watch Youtube videos on it. With the new “hyped’ 3G speeds, AT&T is only fooling consumers, who in turn will also fool themselves to believing this is something new.

Do you want to be lied to twice? I don’t think so, just remember when Apple had those TV ads when the iPhone streamed live Youtube…

For comparison, we could compare to the WiMax Wave 2 technology, which can stream HD quality videos.

With the new WiMax technology boasting 37.44Mbps download speeds and 10.08Mbps upload speeds, AT&T is still stuck back about 2-3 years.

They basically bought out Cingular couple years ago just so they can get into the mobile telecommunications market. AT&T has not proven themselves and all this 3G will be another $400 out of your pocket while the CEOs go play golf with your money.

Better solution?

iPhone should be available on Sprint as Sprint will be rolling out WiMax later this year. Although that’s still not the fastest WiMax, it will be much faster than AT&T’s “claimed” 3G speeds.

AT&T has announced that it will have completed a country wide rollout of its HSUPA 3G service by the end of June. We’re guessing that a little voice from Cupertino might have been hurrying AT&T along. You know, just like AT&T boosting EDGE speeds last year on the iPhone’s launch date. Just saying.
