Pipex announces WiMAX trial results

Pipex announced results for the latest phase of its WiMAX trial in Stratford-upon-Avon. Speeds achieved were: 2Mbps down/2Mbps up indoors at 1.2km (.75 miles); with 10Mbps down/9Mbps up using external antennas at that distance; and 6Mbps down/4 Mbps up, using external antennas at 6km (3.7 miles). Speeds in excess of 2Mbps (both up and down) were achieved indoors at a range of 1.2km (.75 miles) from the base station with no direct line of sight. Drive tests using the indoor antenna in a vehicle at various distances from the base station showed symmetric speeds of 5Mbps.
