I've been with Forum Communications for 9 years, operating i29 Internet Services. i29 started off as a dialup ISP, and in 2005 we launched our residential wireless internet service using Navini pre-WiMAX gear. We're looking forward to upgrading our equipment to Cisco WiMAX in the near future.

How do SPs using the current Cisco WiMAX solutions obtain this list of compatible CPE? We're very interested in that, but have only been able to obtain a brief list of chipsets that were under IOT testing. We weren't aware there was any list of CPE that have passed IOT with Cisco BWX equipment. Thanks.

http://www.fiercebroadbandwireless.com/story/cisco-exiting-wimax-market/2010-03-04 Cisco has confirmed that it will stop designing and building new WiMAX base stations, preferring to focus on the packet core since it acquired Starent Networks for $2.9 billion Read more: http://www.fiercebroadbandwireless.com/story/cisco-exiting-wimax-market/2010-03-04#ixzz0hK4GtCcZ This definitely makes me nervous about the P3s we just ordered to upgrade our entire network to WiMAX. If I had known this, we would have spent the money with another manufacturer who plans to stick with manufacturing WiMAX base stations in the future.

Ryan, I'm excited to hear some of the results. We'll be upgrading our current Cisco/Navini CDMA network to WiMAX shortly. I'm particularly interested in your interoperability testing of 3rd party devices.

Thanks for the tips and input. I have heard of your USB WiMAX CPE, but unfortunately they're still more expensive than the 210 modems. Haven't seen any pictures yet since the BWX section on Cisco.com is pretty sparse. One question that I do have is about interoperability. How well will 3rd party modems work with the Cisco BWX platform in the future? We're hoping that within 12-18 months we'll be seeing WiMAX devices on the shelves at stores such as Best Buy, enabling us to more easily obtain customers. Whether this is a realistic expectation, we don't yet know.

Hi everyone. My name is Eric Harris and I found the list through a direct email from Cisco. I'm the IT Manager for Forum Communications' Interactive Division, which operates a Cisco (almost WiMAX) residential ISP. We started off 4 years ago with Navini, and are currently trying to work out an upgrade to full WiMAX for our network. Our biggest issue that is constraining our growth is the CPE cost. Until we're able to provide CPE to customers for under $100, we have to subsidize most of the cost. We're hoping that the news of Cisco providing Clear with CPE via Linksys bodes well for us Cisco BWX operators as well. The sooner our potential customers can run out to a Best Buy and purchase a modem, then do over-the-air signup the sooner we can greatly expand our business! Not to mention be able to purchase more radios. Thanks for providing this community.
