A ratio chart as that delivers a clearer idea to the user what should they be expecting based on the desired package and the distance of the nearest BS. :D So let's say we take the 2Mbps and the ratio chart, the expected speeds could be: 0.1:2 0.5:1-1.5 1:0.8-1 Wow, I can't imagine being further away than 5km from the BS. Damien, the example you provided is excellent.

So let’s say we take the 2Mbps and the ratio chart, the expected speeds could be:
0.1:2
0.5:1-1.5
1:0.8-1

Wow, I can’t imagine being further away than 5km from the BS.

Anything over that would requires modification, once its modified, its a non-standard. I'm with a vendor. From my blog you would know that I'm a regional staff for my company. The trial was done in another country. To put it simple, an example is quoted just to make you understand. In no way this number reflects the real situation for WiMAX. Distance from Base station (km) : DL speed (Mbps) 0.1:10 0.5:7 1:5 2:4 3:2 4:1 So lets say Company A decides to lay out WiMAX with 2Mbps, the ideal coverage is less than 3km radius from the BS. If Company A decides to sell it as 10Mbps service, there would be base stations with 100m apart each other. WiMAX Forum’s standard only allows the modulation technique to go as far as 8.3km.

Distance from Base station (km) : DL speed (Mbps)
0.1:10
0.5:7
1:5
2:4
3:2
4:1

Me (and anyone) is waiting for a greater alternative to Streamyx - if possible. Could you elaborate more on "We’ve tested more than 10km coverage (with non-standard modification) and 10Mbps for 1 modem."? Where'd you test WiMAX out since it's unavailable in Malaysia at the moment? And I don't quite get this part;" you have to choose between coverage or throughput." Sorry for troubling you. :( Damien, indeed I’m interested in Wimax. Me (and anyone) is waiting for a greater alternative to Streamyx – if possible.

And I don’t quite get this part;” you have to choose between coverage or throughput.”

Sorry for troubling you. :(

WiMAX will deliver 70 Mbit/s over 50 kilometers For the above statement in Wiki, it's not entirely true. The 70Mbit/s is more practical for a base station rather than for single modem. As for the 50km, WiMAX Forum's standard modulation technique only allows 8.3km theoretically. We've tested more than 10km coverage (with non-standard modification) and 10Mbps for 1 modem. With the above said, you have to choose between coverage or throughput. Either 10Mbps below the tower or dial-up speed at cell edge (10km). Obviously, new technology comes at a hefty price so don't expect it'll be cheap :D Hi Danny,
