WIMAX Solutions for Digital Signage and E-TV Question

06-23-2009 12:49 PM

Has anyone implemented a WIMAX solution for education using digital signage and E-TV?

Cisco’s DMS solutions appear to only work on WIFI and not WIMAX.
We are looking at broadcasting using the WIMAX 4G spectrum for Educational purposes.
Thank you

Can you include some of the resources that talk about how it works over WiFi?  I took a look on their website, but I've never found the information I've been looking for on their website in the past.  If I can read what you read about the technology, I might be able to let you know if it will theoretically work over WIMAX.  It depends on how it delivers content.

WiMAX now is where Wi-Fi was like 10 years ago.

Wi-Fi works now with just about every STA (i.e. client station), and WiMAX is a total crapshoot, as things are not yet standardized.

What are you looking to ultimately do?  My guess is that Wi-Fi will work much better for what you need, particularly since WiMAX operates on licensed frequencies.
