Question
Seems to be a telecom global war going on between wimax and lte (with lte -a new evolving).
Wimax vs lte ??? Telecom war

LTE has won, but WiMAX will persist in niche markets. See "The Definitive Analysis of Broadband Wireless Networks: WiMax, WiFi, LTE, and 4G Infrastructure" at http://www.mindcommerce.com/Publications/DefinitiveAnalysisBroadbandWireless2011.php -
Is there a link were we can find the challenges addressed in lte.? -
what are frequency bands that LTE in future will be using for communication
in india ?????? there are 40 bands that are specified by 3GPP both TDD and FDD -
WiMAX is continuing to find markets, especially in the Utility Smart Grid sector where its deterministic data delivery works well with need to get timely information without the vagaries of 3G mobile networks.
Re LTE bands, there will 3 or 4 key bands - 800 (700 in US), 2.3, 2.5 and 3.5. The other bands will be country or continent specific and its creating real problems for the handset manufacturers. -
I worked on establishing a commercial WiMAX network, and now it is dismantled. It wasn't viable in market and regulatory conditions at that time. I am also a first person in the world to establish a telephone call directly through PBX using WiMAX as a part of telecom systems.
Now, speaking of any technology as 4G is downright lie, and people who do that are seriously misled to believing so, or vicious manipulators. Having two rigs working near 4G speeds in laboratory by means of connecting two boxes with a piece of coax cable is not the way any network works. So forget about 4G and please stop spreading the bad propaganda.
My firm belief is that 4G will truly kick off when mm communication at, say, 60GHz becomes commonplace. Every traditional band is too burdened with, well, everything to support any serious acceleration. On the other hand 60GHz has it all, including a very favourable oxygen absorption that works magic for interference elimination, and renders network planning truly obsolete. -
Current status is leading companies AT&T, verizon wireless developing towards 4g standardization. and 4g in underdevelopment not fully estibliushed towards 1GB target of uplink and downlink data transmission is consider to 4G.
LTE-advanced is preparing the specification to fill the 4G requirements -
WiMax is a failure in many countries and there are no takers.LTE will capture the market once handset related issues are sorted out.The data rates are upto 400mbps DL and 100mbps UL in LTE which cannot be achieved in Wimax -
Or not. Wimax, given the same bandwidth and adaptive schemes will have exactly the same spectrum efficiency as LTE, with maximum ~4 Bit/s/Hz in real networks. Everything beyond that is achieved by virtue of line transmission in a short piece of coaxial cable between a Tx and Rx. Shannon's law is inexorable.
We have a recent history repeating itself. Same happened with 2.5G -> 3G. Year after year passed with high hopes of 3G kicking off, handsets becoming completely digital (RF frontend was analog when they finally emerged), and radio planning becoming obsolete (never happened). Sound familiar?
When in doubt, ask engineer. In delusion, ask marketing, blame engineers for flaws in physical reality. -
Definitely LTE as 1. LTE is 3GPP driven technology and compatibility with existing 2G/3G UMTS is being taken care from the begining. 2. LTE is going to replace HRPD/CDMA eventually in US 3. Wordwide support from operators is more tilted towards LTE -
Always remember this was happened in 2.5G and 3G finally IEEE and ITU-T has won.So mean while some domination by some leading company basically from china telecom war but now USA is again emerging and WiMAX is IEEE based standardization so in future WiMAX will lead the world.
