New WiMax VoIP Network
Atlanta based Verso company partnered with Telekom South Africa in deployment of WiFi compatible PDA access to public telephone network using WiMax technology. In its trial version, the deployment of it has been accomplished through the use of class 4 and 5 softswithing and gateway technologies.
In the words of Monty Bannerman - Verso's CEO "This trial demonstrates Verso's ability to provide carrier grade VoIP solutions and application and specifically demonstrates that Verso can successfully deliver voice and data over WiMax network".
WiMax is a wireless standard (IEEE 802.16) simmilar to the WiFi (IEEE 802.11) one used in the popular wireless home and office routers. It has a longer range and is being propagated over a higher (microwave) range of electromagnetic frequencies. Theoretical range of it is up to 30 miles but practically and particularly in dense urban settings it is about 4 to 5 miles.
It is possible though to extend the range of WiFi reception considerably as well, even up to 5 miles through the usage of a small parabolic antenna.
