Spec tweaks delay WiMax approvals
January 18, 2006 — 8:01pm ET
Product certifications for the IEEE's new WiMax standard are being delayed by a last-minute code change, officials of the WiMAX Forum said; and when testing for the standard finally is ready, it will only cover basic interoperability, not quality-of-service or security features. Another area of delay is in building automated testing tools, so it will be at least a matter of weeks or months before truly compatible WiMax networking gear is available--don't let vendor marketing deceive you. The standard is officially called 802.16-2004.
