Optimistic Early Rural Mobile WiMax Trials

In the world right now, most people who are paying attention to new internet technologies have at least heard of the ‘fourth generation’ of mobile internet. They know that it is already available in many major cities around the planet, and that it will be expanding to include more and more regions in no time. What they might not know, however, is that back in 2005 those ‘in the know’ were predicting a different pattern of diffusion for 4g wireless. They were predicting that rural areas would be the first to enjoy the service. After some successful tests were run in rural areas across the United Kingdom, it seemed that would be the fate of the technology, which would then slowly move in to include major urban centers.

The ease of supplying rural areas with such methods of broadband as WiMax is striking next to laying the cables and wires required for terrestrial broadband. That’s why when the goal in the mid-2000s was to supply all of Northern Ireland with broadband, the obvious choice was to go wireless. With less cables and wires to install, the infrastructure was relatively quick and painless to install requiring far less money spent and far less labor. Of course, even back then they knew in the end the installation of such networks around the globe would be demand driven, but with governments making moves to encourage the provision of high speed internet to all citizens, even those in rural areas, it seemed logical to try the new service out in such areas first.

Some of the UK locations to first try out WiMax were those with terrain too rough or weather too extreme to support traditional terrestrial broadband wires and cables. Those who were able to access this high speed service at long last, after many years of waiting for the terrestrial broadband companies, expressed such satisfaction that many began formulating plans for immediate rural releases of the product as far away as the USA. While some criticized that of course the people were happier with broadband internet as opposed to the dial up they had been using, at the end of the day the good reviews were a big encouragement for companies providing the next generation of mobile technology, and looking to make their big release in the next five years to the rest of the world.

While someday WiMax will likely be the solution to providing broadband in the sparsely populated areas where private terrestrial broadband internet companies have never had the financial incentive to go, for now it is being released mainly in urban communities. The rural trials around the world that got the technology going were wonderful for troubleshooting, and of course getting internet to some locations where demographically and geographically it had previously been impossible. With the US looking to push the availability of high speed internet, this technology will be a likely solution over putting more cables and wires into place. Already available in many cities across the nation, US customers can keep their eyes and ears open for more information about ‘fourth generation’ availability in the months and years to come.
