How does xMax compare with WiMAX and Wi-Fi at transmitting voice?
A. Unlike the other systems, xMax was built from the physical layer up by xG Technology to support mobile VoIP. xMax can carry 2x more voice calls/MHz than either WiMAX or Wi-Fi. WiMAX was built to carry data service, not voice. WiMAX needs extremely high capacity to support VoIP; it can only have about 16 simultaneous calls, after which jitter and latency problems make it unstable and unable to support any additional calls. To attain the coverage areas attainable with xMax, Wi-Fi networks would require dozens of assess points per square mile. This was a major problem experienced by many Wi-Fi citywide networks that ultimately proved to be unsuccessful. Q.
