Analysts indicated the idea of standardization was critical to future wireless applications. However, other steps may prolong the wait for the interoperability envisioned with mesh, starting with establishing standards for WiMax. Still, there is probably room for both Wi-Mesh, which can deliver improvements with existing networks, and WiMax, which represents a big jump in performance, but also requires new technology and infrastructure.
