Plain Sailing (at 12 Knots) for WiMAX

Mobilised reports today that a WiMAX demonstration at the World Sailing Championships in Austria, transmitting live video footage from a racing yacht, achieved a transmission distance of 40 kilometers. The demo, which was carried out by WiMAX Telecom, set a new record for long distance WiMAX transmission.


"It was reportedly the first time anyone had even attempted to send live video footage via WiMAX from a moving vehicle, let alone a yacht moving at 12 knots," the article states. "The demonstration shows promise for service such as VoIP, where WiMAX could be used to replace expensive satellite links to achieve broadband access."
