The Alvarion folks were waiting for Intel to pony up the WiMax chipset, and it's delayed until 2005. Intel can hardly carp about Alvarion selling equipment that Alvarion is committing to -- contractually, based on what I've heard -- to upgrade to WiMax certified standards no matter what it takes even if Intel wants to believe they control the WiMax mark, which they don't. I'll be curious whether the WiMax group actually issues standards for pre-WiMax labeling. Will they say "no, not at all, can't say, have to say 802.16a or nothing else" or will they allow claims if the company's put in writing a commitment to upgrade all software, firmware, and hardware (as necessary) to WiMax when it ships? -- Glenn Fleishman seattle . washington unsolicited pundit . glennf.com columnist . seattletimes.com/practicalmac daily wireless networking news . wifinetnews.com _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
