Wireless applications, citywide WiFi, smartphones
Two years ago, we posted a series of articles on MuniWireless exposing the alarming delay in WiMAX deployments in France. At that time, the French telecoms regulator, ARCEP, revealed that “out of the 3562 locations that should have been covered with WiMAX service by 30 June 2008, only 657 were connected as of 31 December [...]
State-owned operator, BSNL, wants to give back its WiMAX licenses to the government because it prefers to deploy LTE networks. It’s unlikely that BSNL will get its money back from the government; however, if it does get out of its obligation to deploy WiMAX, it can avoid having to spend large amounts of money in [...]
For what we think is the first time ever as a publicly traded entity, Clearwire has pre-announced its quarterly numbers for the last fiscal period, with one metric rising above the rest: The company announced 1.9 million new wholesale subscribers, which you can roughly translate into meaning that Sprint has probably sold about that many 4G phones [...]
Is this the beginning of the end for WiMAX provider Clearwire? Things certainly got dimmer for the nascent national broadband provider Friday when Sprint revealed its new Network Vision strategy that in part calls for Sprint to switch from using Clearwire’s WiMAX to power its 4G network to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network that Sprint will build [...]
The good news for U.S. taxpayers is that Open Range Communications, the now-bankrupt startup that was trying to build rural wireless networks, never received the full amount of the $267 million loan it won from the U.S. Department of Agriculture back in 2008. The bad news is — according to research into Open Range’s agreement with the [...]
Clearwire (CLWR) shares took a beating today, plummeting 24 percent after Sprint announced that it will stop selling mobile phones that work on Clearwire’s WiMAX network. Instead, the company will move its customers to its own LTE network. Sprint has been Clearwire’s largest customer; it also has a significant equity stake in Clearwire. Only last [...]
Looks like the rural WiMAX project Open Range Communications is at the end of its entrepreneurial trail, according to a news report from Fierce Wireless’s Mike Dano, who says CEO Bill Beans has resigned and massive layoffs are underway as the company will stop accepting new customers. Sidecut Reports has been openly skeptical about Open Range ever since the [...]
Another nail in the coffin for WiMAX. Just as WiMAX operators around the world have either gone out of business or switched to LTE, Open Range Communications, an American WiMAX operator is laying off most of its employees and no longer accepting new customers. Open Range claims it will continue to serve existing customers, but [...]
We all had a feeling this was true but Craig Mathias states it unequivocally in his article, WiMAX is Dead: “Clearwire’s recent (and completely unsurprising) announcement that the firm is going with LTE is the final nail in mobile WiMAX’s coffin. I have not been as vocal over the years on this topic as I should I have [...]
Moving on beyond the world of just powering smartphones, Sprint today took the wraps off a project bound to be of interest to many business users small and large — a fixed-wireless broadband solution Sprint is calling the 4G Enterprise WAN offering. We are not exactly disinterested observers this time around, since Sidecut Reports has written a [...]
