After years of delays, the first products based on the WiMAX broadband technology finally hit the United States market.

Aperto Networks, Redline Communications, SEQUANS Communications, and WaveSat announced their products at the Wireless Communications Association convention in San Jose, California.

The products add credibility in the U.S. for the technology, which already has a growing market in Eastern Europe, South America, and the Middle East. Its growth in the U.S. market has been stymied by delays in setting standards and overcoming uncertainties.

Standards are very important, they make sure that these technologies don't interfere with other signals in US Airspace ;).

You should see how many variants there are of 802.11!
