WiMAX Rolls ... on down the road

Behind the wheel with WiMax In Vancouver, BC, a demosntration project showed the capability of almost-ready-for-prime-time Wi MAX. Seattle-based startup Adaptix Inc. outfitted a sport-utility vehicle with equipment to show what WiMax can do. How about streaming a video, making a phone call, and playing a video game, all at the same time (while rolling down the road at 40 mph)? No mention of chewing gum. Service dropped when the vehicle got a mile away from the access point, indicating its dependence on a robust network. This gives us a glimpse into the not-too-distant future of wireless broadband. It will be about a lot more than high-speed Internet access, that's for sure.
