Category?[edit]

I don't think that category "IEEE standards" is applicable to WiBro - after all, this is a proprietary technology, and I do not know of any step in this direction. --.mau. ✉ 22:01, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

WiMAX defines the rules under which a product can be certified as WiMAX compliant (as it is for WiFi). 802.16e is a new release of 802.16d. If Nokia produces a base station compliant with 802.16e, it will probably carry the label WiMAX. If Nokia produces a base station compliant with 802.16d, it will probably carry the label WiMAX. This is as it is today with 802.11, where both b and g variants carry the WiFi label, but still there is need, for the vendor, to specify namely which standard it complies to. Also note that the two technologies are not alternative or complementary: today no vendor will decide to produce only 802.11b gear, discarding 802.11g. The same applies to 802.16e. Here, I agree, the problem is slightly different, since the standard and the vendor roadmap are not completely defined (also because thi version may cannibalize market for some providers - HSDPA vs WiMAX). Still, I think is appropriate to compare the 2 technologies, for two reasons:

1. they address same services and same usage scenarios, as well as business models

2. WiBro will probably get a WiMAX label (think at it as US Robotics selling Turbo PC WiFi cards: the Turbo extensions are not WiFi compliant, but the card its able to talk to WiFi components).

If you think that common comparisons are HSDPA vs WiBro, then I think that WiMAX vs WiBro is acceptable: the focus is on the services, and all these technologies target the same service family (broadband, mobile and nomad, with WiMAX/WiBro also suited for the residential market). --.wpg.

Comparison between WiBro and WiMax[edit]

I don't think that a comparison between the WiBro and WiMax is appropriate. After all the WiBro - being a proprietary techmology - is based on the standard IEEE 802.16e while WiMax refers to the set of standards developed under the IEEE 802.16 umbrella. Also it not correct that the difference between WiBro and Wimax is the fact that WiBro works in the licensed spectrum; it is envisaged that Wimax may operate either on the licensed or on the un-licensed bands (the current IEEE 802.16 "WiMax" cover 2 GHz to 66 GHz)

What the?[edit]

"February 10th 2006: Telecom Italia, the dominant telephony and internet service provider in Italy, together with Korean Samsung Electronics, has demostrated to the public a WiBro network service on the occasion of the Winter Olympic Games 2006, held in Turin, with downspeed of 10 Mbit/s and upspeed of some hundreds of kbit/s even in movement upto 120 km/h" — What's with the sudden change to physical motion? Don't the electrons or radio waves move at basically fixed speeds through whatever media is being used? 68.39.174.238 21:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic / Written like an advertisement?[edit]

I'm getting this overwhelming feeling that part of the article is written more like an advertisement (a poorly translated one, at that.) For example, "For Korea visitors and travelers who wants Internet access for 1 month or less. Just look out for Show Stand in Incheon Airport. Information from October 2010." - This just dosn't seem right at-all. I think a very large portion of the article needs a re-write. 94.172.123.89 (talk) 16:50, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Can we merge it into the WiMAX or IEEE 802.16 article? Mange01 (talk) 22:16, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
