Mobilis represents Awesome potential for WINCompare this to WaveRider's 802.11b 11 mps stuff or, for that matter, ANY company's high speed mobile wireless product line. Oh yeah, there aren't any others.
This is going to be huge in itself, nevermind the fixed broadband market and WiMax (or Cisco's eventual huge cheque)
Buying more.
"Mobilis offers compelling competitive advantages over other technologies:
(1) compared to traditional Fixed Wireless Access, Mobilis operates in high-speed mobile environments, applying a robust handoff scheme to ensure no communication interruption;
(2) in contrast to 3G, Mobilis delivers data throughput of more than 100 times faster (32 mbps vs. 284 kbps);
(3) Mobilis is superior to WLAN technology solutions because it is designed for the outdoors, reaches longer distances, operates in a high-speed mobile environment, and provides robust handoff to ensure constant communication; and
(4) compared to satellite solutions, Mobilis offers better performance at a lower cost and can operate in underground subways and tunnels.
Mobilis delivers a dynamic link with bandwidth of up to 32 Mbps, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming video and internet browsing, while delivering low latency, making it suitable for a VoIP solution. As well, Mobilis’ relatively small antenna makes it a more practical and attractive solution for transit vehicles than larger satellite dishes.
“Wi-LAN’s Mobilis addresses the convergence of mobile data acquisitions and centralized incident reporting requirements. Connected Mobility will be the cornerstone of future applications ranging from intelligent highway and toll collections to emergency response,” said Rich Thoma, technology and transportation analyst and principal of Thoma Consulting. “I expect the Mobilis product will become a future platform for critical communication systems required by Public Safety, Homeland Security and ITS."
