MWEB WiMax trials progressing well

At least they are open about their trial. Unlike the other WiMax players who are holding trials.
 
“At this stage however we can confirm that customers staying in Table View are able to pick up signal from the Media 24 WiMAX Base station (on the Cape Town foreshore) - which is essentially across Table Bay!” MWEB said.

It's not that surprising that signal reaches through to Table View, it is effectively Line of Sight, straight over the sea.

Good to hear trials are going well, boads well for Wi-Max in general.
 
Is there a way those selcted from the forum can post the results or experience on a sticky thread?
 
AT Internetix last year Internet Solutions ran a live video feed from Robin Island using WiMax and that was quite amazing.

WiMax has huge potential to be successful and I am glad that MWeb is at least holding open trails.

I would like to get latency measurement reports from them to see how it compares to other wireless services.

Keep up the good work.
 
Now I'm :mad:
When they asked for people to trail in JHB, I thought it would only be Sandton area, and now I see there is a tower in Boksburg :mad: :mad:
(Only got my self to blame for not checking)
 
Do MWEB even have a licence yet? If not how are they allowed to conduct trials?

They have a trial license. This does not mean they will get a commercial one, but they could if they prove that they can make use of it.

In this case I think they will get the final license from ICASA. Urgently :rolleyes:
