View of Bangladesh Market
Wimax coverage is very much limited and need to be confirmed that whether within this location has good strength of network coverage. If you get the good strength of network, then you can enjoy the wimax speed.
EVDO network coverage is more expanding (100% mobility) than Wimax, so you can get this network in high rising building or in moving vehicle very well. Due to CDMA handset limitation and high price, most of customers are using EVDO technology in Bangladesh for their Laptop/Desktop PC rather than for their mobile phone as wap service.
Most of customer are now choosing to buy WiMAX or EVDO modems to get internet connection for their laptop/PC. However, in Bangladesh market, there are lot of EDGE/GPRS handsets available with lower price. Therefore, EDGE technology is used by mostly mobile internet users who takes day/monthly mini-packages designed by the GSM operators in here.
