It's taken a while (nearly two years), but the IEEE has finally given their blessing to the mobile WiMax standard (802.16e-2005) and trials and certification based on the new spec, which will be overseen by the WiMax Forum, will begin early next year. Obviously, the gloves are now off for manufacturers and vendors, so we should expect to see a number of products and services hitting the marketplace by 3Q 2006 or early 2007, depending of course on how trials and certification testing progresses.
This niche blog has now been merged into the The Wireless Report (www.thewirelessreport.com), which covers all things wireless.
