U.S. University Creates WiMAX Environment Model to Replicate

I was excited to see that several higher ed institutions have recently hopped on the WiMAX bandwagon – a logical implementation to help schools increase productivity and decrease wireless costs. According to a recent article on Wimax.com, Ball State University (BSU) spearheaded a wireless research and innovation initiative by partnering with our friends at Alvarion [...]

Growing WiMAX

As many of you might have seen, this week saw the continued expansion of WiMAX technology across the country, through network launches by Clearwire, Towerstream and Time Warner.

Clearwire announced two new markets – Honolulu and Seattle.  As Kevin Fitchard from Telephony notes in an article, this marks the end of the company’s 2009 rollout and [...]

Going Green with the Cloud

Cloud computing is something we talk about a lot here in the Towerstream offices.  Although it’s not directly a part of our business, we’re very much aware of the future potential it offers our customers – and all businesses, in fact.  The technology will enable businesses to adopt intelligent online services that will benefit both [...]

Score One More for WiMAX – Clearwire Secures Additional Funding

The WSJ’s Jeffrey McCracken and Don Clark reported yesterday that Clearwire has secured an additional $1.5 billion in financing to build out its nationwide WiMAX network.
The article noted, “Sprint would invest $1 billion and its Clearwire joint venture partners, a group which includes Comcast Corp., Intel Corp, Time Warner Cable Inc. and Bright House [...]

In My Next 40 Years…

I wanted to start off today’s post by thanking the organizers of last week’s 4GWE event. I enjoyed giving a keynote about the broadband stimulus and its many elements, from the rules and regulations to the recent submission process. The event was a tremendous success and I am looking forward to the January event in [...]

Towerstream and the Broadband Stimulus

As many of you may know, the deadline for broadband stimulus applications was last Thursday, August 20.  You may also be aware that Towerstream has officially applied for the program.
 
What’s our goal?  As I’ve mentioned in several prior posts, rural areas, while in need, are not the only parts of this country that are [...]

Clear in the Atlanta Air

I saw on WiMAX.com recently that Clearwire’s site indicates it is now offering its “Clear” WiMAX service in Atlanta. 
 
As the article notes, “This is great news and a significant milestone for the industry.”  I am pleased to hear that Clearwire continues to grow its coverage areas and execute on its plans. 
 
Towerstream also had [...]

Obama’s “New Deal” on Broadband

With the Presidential Inauguration around the corner, I wanted to take some time to talk about how the new administration may change things in the wireless world.  By now, we all know that President-elect Barack Obama is a strong advocate of technology, proven by his desire to keep his BlackBerry when he [...]

Economy a Wreck? Look to Tech!

As we head into the holiday season, it seems the headlines touting economic doom and gloom are not slowing down.  Companies across the board are doing all they can to cut costs – in fact, I read a great piece from the Wall Street Journal’s Ben Worthen this week that touched on this exact subject.  [...]

Disruptive WiMAX

Looking back at the progression of wireless, it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come since the cell phone of 20 years ago.  It was 28 ounces (compared to the 5.5 ounce Blackberry Storm), cost a whopping $2,500 and had just one hour of battery life.  These days we have iPhones and [...]
