Southern California Wireless Users Group - WiMAX Myths and Realities

The Southern California Wireless users Group (SOCALWUG) is here to be a resource for those interested in wireless data technology like Wi-Fi, WiMAX, EVDO, CDMA, 3G and other technology helping to create a mobile connected society.

Our monthly meeting includes educational presentations and information about all facets of wireless networking. We meet to discuss a timely topic, and have a presentation from a company working in the wireless arena. Guests include product vendors, service companies, book authors, and users discussing their products and experiences.

Video Presentation: Tonight it's all about WiMAX!

Mike Outmesguine opened the meeting showing some of the recently certified WiMAX products. A member brought his new Kyocera KR1 Mobile EVDO Router and using a Verizon EVDO card, we spontaneously created a Wi-Fi hotspot for everyone to use this meeting. Mike then compared the new Verizon XV6700 smart phone with the Sidekick 2.

We continue with an insightful talk from Jack Unger, author of Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide Area Networks, on "WiMAX Myths and Realities". Jack helps us to understand what WiMAX really is and how it fits into the wireless ecology. He exposes some of the hype surrounding the new technology while revealing the promise and possibilites it could bring to users everywhere.
