 | | Roger Marks founded the IEEE 802.16 Working Group in 1998, and has chaired, the Broadband Wireless Access Standards, committee. |
 | | IEEE (802) standards are IP-centric, providing packet-switched Voice over IP, while cellular standards like UMTS have a more circuit-switched approach. |
 | | Wi-Max, IEEE 802.20, Flarion, Arraycomm and Navini all say the IP-centric approach is the way to go because it provides more cost/effective infrastructure, easily ported applications, and lowers cost "by a factor of ten". |
