What are the competing technologies for Wireless WANs today? Why have Wireless WANs not become an alternative to traditional broadband (cable and fiber)?

Solution

The competing technologies for Wireless WAN\'s are GSM/UMTS, cdmaone and Wimax.. all are providing data with high data rates..4G, next vesion is 5G

After evolving of 4G the data speeds of WANS\'s are almosted reached to speeds of the tradtional broadboand services, feasible to use any where, but the cost for this wan\'s is too high, if don\'t high any offers, allthough it provides better speed, but in large usage of data ,it maybe not cost effective, in such situations broadbands are very useful..

wan - provides flexibility to use anywhere and better speeds, broadbands provide high data speeds, large amount of data and cost effective
