What is the difference between WiMAX and LTE ?
In order to answer this question better we are brining you an interview With Robert Syputa, senior analyst for Maravedis. He is an author of a report titled “WiMax, LTE and Broadband Wireless (Sub-11GHZ) Worldwide Market Trends 2008-2014 — 5th Edition.” Question: How have WiMax and LTE evolved? Syputa: Of course, the basic technology is OFDM based. That goes back 40 some-odd years. It was developed for the military and aerospace. Outside of that, it was not commercially viable. Now it also is used in such areas as DSL and, more recently, in 802.11. So it pretty much waited for semi processor technology to catch up. That technology is coming along, and some of the other technologies like MIMO also are percolating up. So the traditional cellular wireless industry is not ignorant of this stuff. Like everybody else, though, it was impractical until relatively recently. It was sitting on the back burner. Then the WiMax effort started up with some smaller companies, but also big ones includi
