Thanks for Motorola and UIH (United Information Highway) for their cooperation on making this test comes true. Both of company had successfully tested mobile WiMax in two cities; Bangkok and Phuket, cities where high demand of broadband access is happen. Since then, Thailand can hope to offer commercial mobile WiMax on next year.

To meet a “full mobility performance”, there are some condition need to be fulfilled. Here they are:

1. Its signal must be received successfully
2. Transfer seamlessly from statin to station even when the receiver is on a fast-moving commuter train with average speed of 100 Kph. (Well that’s so fast for a commuter)

Untill now, global WiMax users have reached 1.5 million. So little to be compared to others technology like 2G or 3G which hace reached ten or hundred of millions.
