Topic: RE: WIMAX, is it bound to one area?

[maniac2999]

Naka Wimax ako ngayon, talaga bang bound sa isang base station lang yung pwede nya gamiting signal? I mean, hindi sya portable? lumilipat lipat kasi ako ng lugar,  ok naman yung wimax signal so far, pero just this week, hindi na sya makasagap ng connection, lagi na lang searching , pero pag bumabalik ako sa area ko dati kung san nakalagay yung mailing address ng account ko, ok naman yung connection..


Sana may makasagot / makatulong sa kin,

WiMax isnt GSM, it runs on a totally different frequency, one area na mataas ang GSM, UMTS/HSPA+ are might have low to non existent covarage on WiMax, same applies with LTE since that runs on a different frequency

though much like GSM its possible that there is high covereage of WiMax and another area low to non-existent

WiMax is a DEAD technology killed by LTE, it was a war like HD-DVD and Bluray had back in the day which bluray won, nanghihinayang na lang ang mga companies na naginvest sa WiMax tech and Deployment sa lahat ng ginastos nila kaya ginagamit pa rin and they still have service, but unfortunately WiMax will no longer evolve or expand coverage to how much it is right now since LTE and LTE-A is the future of wireless Broadband

another reason why WiMax DIED is Mobile devices, most new models of phone and tablets already have LTE built in(like most Qualcomm Powered phones have LTE in the CPU DIE) and no Manufacturer uses WiMax for 4G on the devices they make

I don't understand how this answers my question though.. I think I know much about these things already, thanks for the mini lecture though.

Just to clarify: what I'm asking is what kind of Policy they employ in distributing bandwidth, is it like Smartbro's canopy wherein one needs to register to a base station? so I'm blocked from getting any BW from another station?

ooops didnt mean to give a goldfinger hehe, guess I clicked it while it wasn't visible yet.

so you mean nung una nakakasagap ka pa ng connection? how fast was it? was it as fast as your original connection or was it slower bago pa tuluyan maging "searching"

[maniac2999]

yep, meron pa po nung una, decent speeds pa nga at around 80% nung optimal speed dun sa original area ko, tapos one day, ayun, forever searching na sya.. one week na ngayon.. tried calling Globe but their TSRs are as useless as congressmen, kelangan pa may account na tied in dun sa area para lang malaman status nung base station dun

[click4screw]

same here. dati pwede pang dalhin kahit saan ung globe wimax ko. ngaun hindi na. kung saan lng ininstall na area, dun lng cya gagana.

[rodeo]

cguro ginawa ng globe yan para iwas nakaw dun sa mga hacked na wimax. i  remember one time may nakita ko wimax na hacked nasa metro manila siya pero ang register sa ip niya nasa cebu siya...

[karl jao]

hmmm.... ako 3 days na limited access ang wimax ko di na makaconnect... meron kasi ako hacked at tattoo... yung hacked ang limited access na lang... paano kaya ito.. baka may makatulong.... if bawal po paki delete na lang salamat at salamat din sa tutulong....

At this point hindi kasalanan ng Globe yan, at hindi rin naka fixed sa iisang base station yung MAC address ng WiMax mo.

Eto ang mga posibleng dahilan kung bakit hindi ka na maka connect at laging searching.

1. Hindi compatible yung Frequency ng device mo sa Frequency ng base station kung saan ka malapit. Pwede itong i-limit ng ISP para hindi mahirapan ang device mo kaka search ng signal. Meron 10 possible default frequencies na ginagamit.

2. Baka walang available ng WiMax signal sa new location mo or kung meron mang malapit ng base station merong nakaharang ng building. Line of sight po ang WiMax.

3. Baka na-clone na nila ang MAC address mo at the same time parehas kayo ng base station na ginagamit. (Pero impossibleng hindi bibitaw ang isa sa inyo kung naka 1 week ka ng searching).

pero sir, I was using it for several weeks prior at okay naman ang connection,

1.) I think pareho lang naman yung search range at frequencies na gamit ng WiMax, I was always getting good signal sa 161000 or something na band, just lately nga lang di na sya makaconnect,

2.) refer to 1.)

3.) I doubt may nakaclone sir kasi walang nakakakita nung device ko mismo nor have I posted it anywhere D:


Try ko ulit maya kung gagana na, tinigilan ko for several weeks kasi same problem eh, pero thanks for the reassurance na hindi yung MAC filtering ginawa nila

Thanks!

[BoyDapa]

Possible po na na clone yang mac address mo sir, dahil mga contactor ang may hawak ng mga modem device ng globe..lahat ng mac bago erelease yan ay naka compile na yan. kaya ko nasabi ko nasabi yan dahil may bago akong kasama na kayang magpalit palit ng mac .dahil galing sya sa company na may hawak sa lahat ng modem ni globe..peace

[BoyDapa]

dagdag ko na din base sa sabi lumipat ka may mga mac address na pang isang lugar, kunyari dati kang makati lumipat ka ng ibang lugar , ibang site na ang madedetect nun..gandang umaga
