always malaysia boleh. bila boleh? wimax can broadcast with very width coverage.

they're running trials now

The earliest that I heard is after July 2007; from Maxis. I was also invited to be do a project on developing WiMax Phone under one research grant for a local uni but didn't accept it since different field of research.

Samsung already developed WiMax Phone. Motorola coming soon. We just hope for the earliest adpotion. I also have a short conversation with one of the Ikram Electronic Engineer. He did mentioned that to cover the peninsular Malaysia with WiMax can be done using a lot less antennas compared to current coverage but since the technology is different from cell phone technology; there will be a lot of challenges will be faced....

Just hope for the best... But please don't say "Malaysia Boleh"... Dah lali sangat with the slogan sedangkan 'tarak apa2 yang dapat'... LOL

Maxis? Having trial with motorola, isn't it.

Even if WiMAX is introduced, all will be used in backhaul only.
Some CPE is not that consumer friendly after all.

dunno how about the wimax stability. it is same as wireless?

Wimax has long being on trial by iburst

Not necessarily true. Take for example, the Maxis WiMAX trial -- running at 2.5GHz, its coverage footprint is going to be pretty pathetic. Don't expect anything wider than 2km radius, especially in highly urban areas like KL city.

Well, according to the news reports, they're trialing Mobile WiMAX, which should be 802.16e. So it's not a "backhaul" (point-to-point) solution. My expectation of a "mobile" WiMAX access device would be a USB or PC Card interface at least -- no external power or battery packs required. I consider anything other than those form-factors to be inferior. I'd love to see what their access device looks like.

iBurst is not WiMAX. In fact, iBurst is not even OFDM-based, which WiMAX is.

Trial?...I think 5 years from now , Wimax gonna reach consumer/home user... u know la Malaysia..so slow

There will be a town in Malaysia that will be Wi-Fi Town. The entire town will be convered.

Just open your laptop and u can surf. Just to provide basic surfing. P2P for sure not allowed.

Read the newspaper this or next month and you will see.

Cost per month? Don't tell me got access fee + line rental..

wimax, line rental??????, maybe got 5% government tax
u know la, Bolehland, anything possible

the gov still havent release the license for telco company, so it is hard to tell when we'll get WiMax.

look at front page
there's a piece of introduction to wimax there

I just like to dream.



While in Malaysia, we are waiting to see who won the WiMAX tender bids here, i'm droolling at Spain's achievable WiMAX speed.

let's hope digi get's the license, then we can see something good, as the backbone is ntt if i'm not mistaken...

skali kena one stupid malaysian company how good also, backbone goes to tm die back same as lppl , no point there...

digi won get the wimax as it is 61% controlled by Telenor

imagine if digi get the wimax, what will happen to the local telcos.. mati terus.. govt won allow that to happen

yalah...

We all always say: Bring on Green Packet, and DiGi...

but while it is a nice dream, i don't think this "dream" would come true. Cos both green packet n digi oso owned by foreigners...

Ps: Besides, our big shots oso got no share in Green Packet n DiGi. Our big shots brothers got shares in Maxis n Telekom. Of course lah they "protect" local players.... lol...

Wait for the next malaysian revolution.
Ha just kidding, most probably soon, they're testing it now. If they don't release wimax this year, I say Malaysia Boleh bla.

I think TMNet will get it Since its the biggest player in Malaysia.

lol. yeah. tmnut will surely get it. but not bcos they are the biggest in malaysia. but bcos the big shots got share in tmnut. lol.
