We are just about to role out the first WiMax install in Wales. This is operating on a licenced bandwidth, and should be inteligent enought to deal with any packet loss, the latency shouldn’t be a problem as it is going straight into fibre about 10k away. Let me know if you want to be updated on our progress.

The 800 MHz spectrum is a big deal because of its range. What remains to be seen is the deliverable speed and most importantly quality. Quality is judged by latency and packet loss. If the wireless Internet connections have significant packet loss and latency, they will not support the fastest growing applications on the web (VoIP, streaming video, gaming) no matter what the speed.

This is great news for the more rural parts of the UK and the numerous broadband ‘not spots’ LTE mobile broadband should be a much more cost effective of getting a good broadband service to these communities.
