160 Mbps realistic on LTE

Not in our lifetimes, not in South Africa, not affordable... so to sum all of this up: IMMINENT
 
Sweet dreams sweet sweet dreams. Ja it would be such a difficult choice on what to do with your 2 gig cap for a couple of seconds the internet just go alot more frustrating mmmmm what should I do with my cap movie, game, online gaming, lots and lots of porn while you can mmmmm :erm:
 
160 Mbps realistic on LTE

LTE promises very high speeds with some experts predicting that WiMax will be no match

Wimax and LTE at a certain level is a semantic game with words. These digital radio tech all uses FFT, Reed-Solomon, Viterbi etc. LTE is a complex protocol stack to which nobody has any access unless you pay millions of dollars. Wimax championed by Intel uses the IP stack. LTE handles multipath issues better than Wimax , it would be trivial to merge LTE and Wimax but takes years via official committees such as IEEE. In the meantime South Africa can't get unlimited bandwidth because of red tape which has nothing to do with how the building blocks of Viterbi , Turbo encoding and FFT are effortlessly merged and changed on a FPGA chip. The fact is that with a few airships above Gauteng we can have unlimited Wimax/LTE/Flash digital OFDM
based comms. The airships function as huge highsites at 40km above commercial airspace. They connect to a Wimax or LTE upload node. The surrounding houses connects to this upload node via FSO, Wi-Fi , Wimax or whatever is appropriate.
 
dont know if anyone said this but it will be a sad sight where due to "excessive" speeds all you r monthly bandwidth is used up in a day.
and with our 2-5GB caps its very easy.
 
Could it be an opportunity for a fresh company to frog leap the Cash Cows already invested in redundant technology? It is the way many Goliaths have been made to fall.
