subject: The Differences Between Wi-fi And Wimax Coverage In Nashville [print this page]


As a city that has experienced a boom in recent years and continues to attract out-of-towners, Nashville is everything but a sleepy southern corner of a great state packed with nature and history. Plenty of college students flock to Nashville each year to learn about everything from organic gardening to rocket science, and the local country music scene continues to thrive, thanks to innovators who are pushing things forward while retaining respect for the old guard. In fact, people are more likely to see laptop-toting youngsters logging onto wireless internet networks at Fido than they are to run into weathered old-timers who are picking and grinning in the middle of the day. It's just a changing atmosphere.

For those who like the old way and the new way in Nashville, it makes sense to look at how people are able to get online, and then make the call about which the best technique is actually. Because as much as it makes sense to hold onto the past, Nashville is very much a contemporary city, interested in the new-school method of staying in touch. And plenty of those Music City Row big-timers are all about flipping open a laptop and making tour booking a whole lot easier, especially now that WiMax makes it possible to take the world wide web anywhere that a laptop can go.

Plenty of people who surf the net have never actually had the opportunity to get online with something designed to be portable, but that's becoming a commonplace way to access information these days. For those who are doing it for the first time, chances are that wireless internet will be the method that makes the connection. This is due to the fact that there are plenty of hot spots, that most laptops come calibrated and ready to get online with Wi-Fi, and that it's been around for longer. But it's actually just as limited as sitting at a desk, with routers only able to power a signal for a certain distance before it falls out. And that means that Wi-Fi actually is not the most up-to-date way to get online.

That would be WiMax, which has moved to a network that is designed to power cell phones, only it's powering the continuous receiving and sending of web-based signals. The biggest difference between the two, besides the part where one is new and the other is old, is that one provides true mobility. And the difference with true mobility is that there is no remembering passwords, going out of range, or having to figure out whether or not there is somewhere to connect when in a new city. It's a lot like making a call with a cell phone; location doesn't matter, and the signal is going to make things last, no matter where one happens to be.

So those who are considering an upgrade to portable web access should realize that to truly be able to move anywhere, it is WiMax, not Wi-Fi, that gets the job done. And whether it's moving around for working places other than a desk or booking the rest of a tour from the road, there are plenty of reasons that one form of Wi-Fi is better than the other by far.
