It's not a WiMax thing-- it's a 2.5 GHz thing. When you get above 2 GHz, you get close to a harmonic resonance of the hydrogen bonds in a water molecule-- this is why microwave ovens operate at 2.4 GHz. The dielectric heating effect at this frequency is highly effective on water molecules.

The water molecules absorb some of the RF energy and reduce the propagation of the signal.

That explains it all. Thanks. Never knew that.

Impossible. How can SQUARE feet be in a circle? That's crazy talk.

It's an approximate of actual coverage in terms of radius from the point of origin (Airave). So yes, it can still be calculated in square feet.

An ICS build with WiMax? Let the porting begin!

I think October is a good release time for the iPhone, it is still fresh in December which makes for a lot of Christmas presents.

Maybe that was the reason they moved the release of the 4S to October to make it more popular for Christmas time! I prefer a summer release, but I can't be picky, lol.

I guess Sprint likes to keep us on the edge of our seats.

That's for sure. 14 more days until we know for absolute certainty what the specs will be.

It will have some effect, especially the heaviest of storms. But not as bad as 2500/2600.

Hopefully it won't be enough to drop the LTE signal to nothing like what happens to me here on 2600.

We haven't had any rain in Northern New Mexico since the week after Labor Day last September.

That sucks.

Heavy precipitation can degrade WiMax performance if it is solid between your device and the tower. But it isn't a WiMax thing so much as its a 2500/2600 thing.

 

LTE on 1900 will be less affected. And on 800, minimally effected.

Glad to know that rain won't affect LTE on 1900. Thanks!

If you donate money you become a sponsor. If you donate $100 or more you become a Premium Sponsor with added benefits.

I personally have an Airave and can verify that this is about correct. Depends on the construction type of the home or business, but the figures are about right. Put one in the center of your home and it will cover the entire home unless you have a very big mansion.

How accurate is the GPS after it is moved away from the window?

What's rain???

Come to the Lower Central Valley of California and you will see what rain is. All afternoon yesterday and all night last night.

WalMart is always bad for everyone due to the large amounts of metal used in the buildings. Where I live, I get 4-max bars in town and anywhere from 0-4 at my house, in house it's 0-2.

Ouch. That's bad for your area. I need one, but I don't have any broadband services where I live. A truly mobile life, lol.

And I just found out the reason it won't work with satellite broadband is too much jitter and some service providers can't support IPsec. So much for my idea since I don't have DSL or cable in my neighborhood.

as far as i know, but i could be wrong.

I just read on Sprint's Airave support page that it is actually 5,000 ft. Of course, that's give or take due to interference.
