It looks like the next generation of little green robots just got a little bit faster, with Comsys Mobile announcing its ComMAX CM1125 reference design at Mobile World Congress 2010 (and beating HTC to the punch). It'll apparently find life inside Windows Mobile handsets as well, where it will not only offer WiMAX, but bring GSM/Edge, WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth, and even FM radio to the table, all in a design with "exceptionally low power operation." It's said to be able to switch from WiMAX to Edge seamlessly, though we image that transition would feel something like being inside KITT on Turbo Boost and hitting the Emergency Braking System. No word on when we'll see phones at retail based on this design, but we'll endeavor to bring you more information on this design (as well as more Knight Rider references) as the show progresses.
How did they beat htc to the punch considering htc released the wimax comparable HD max last year.
I rather have CDMA&WiMax (HTC Supersonic) im just saying..
Why the hell would you want to go from WiMax to EDGE? So what, you're on Sprint 4G and when that's not available, you go to AT&T 2G? Where's CDMA? Where's 3G GSM (WCDMA)?
In the U.S., as T-mobile hasn't announced any plans to upgrade their network to 4G technology(just HSPA/+) this will could well be their play to keep up with technology after their 3g+ runs its course. Outside of the U.S. it's probably a way for developing markets to skip the cost of a 3g rollout and jump right to 4g.
Don't worry, you'll get your CDMA and WiMax, this is just WiMax broadening its scope which is a good thing--means it will be more likely to be around in the future.
Wimax has atleast four opperating bands... 2.5GHz, 2.7GHz, 3.5GHz , 3.7GHz. Mostly uptill now 2.5GHz is supported by phones like HTC-Max4G. Will this support , 3.5GHz Wimax Band !?! thanks.
