The case has been made (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Is-WiMax-In-Trouble-89840) that WiMax has gotten a slow start and continues to stumble in its development. But Ball State University begs to differ. The school got an experimental license from the FCC earlier this year (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/81266) to test out WiMax on campus. The school has completed its testing and has determined (http://www.thestarpress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071201/NEWS01/712010352/1002) that WiMax is better at transmitting consistent, useable wireless signals than are existing wireless providers. Overall the testing and research proved positive. The wireless link did not workeverywhere but proved to have significantly greater reach than that of traditional WiFi.
The school s researchers believe that their findings will help drive broadband development in this area impacting both the wireless world and the profits of businesses. The full seventy-three page report by the school can be found here (https://ilocker.bsu.edu/users/owrm/world_shared/wimax%20research%20-ball%20state%20university%202007.pdf).
