future of wifi

hi,

what is the future of wifi network? will it be replaced by newer technologies such as wimax? what do you think?

thanks

A homework question?

WiMax is not new, if anything it's a dead-end technology. It is still a favorite for companies that get a multi-million government grant to provide wireless internet for a few dozen homes, but alas end up going bankrupt.

The future is not in tower-centric models with 300 square mile footprint on 200 foot towers. The future is low cost clusters with one or two mile footprints on low elevation towers and buildings.

3x3 MIMO is hard to do, 6x6 MIMO may work for indoor applications, but worthless for wide area WSIP deployments.

WiMAX is aimed at the microwave and millimeter wave frequency band proposed a new air interface standard. It is used for the 802.11 a wireless access hot connected to the Internet, also can link company and the family, as well as environment to cable backbone line. It can be used as cable and DSL wireless expansion technology, so as to realize the wireless broadband access

Why would WiMax be written into a new set of standards when it has a dismal history or performance?
