Cisco WiMax Devices?

10:20 AM -- So what WiMax devices do we think Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) will produce as part of its deal with Clearwire LLC (Nasdaq: CLWR)?

I hope to have more info soon, but here's my initial thoughts about what we could see from the networking giant.

  • A home gateway-cum-WiMax femtocell-type product for the consumer market

  • IP handsets and other devices for the enterprises

  • Campus "bridging" products that will use WiMax as a longer-range link to connect WiFi and other IP-based corporate networks together

This is pure speculation on my part at the moment, but I think I might well be on the money with some of these. What do you think?

Dan is to hats what Will.I.Am is to ridiculous eyewear. Fedora, trilby, tam-o-shanter -- all have graced the Jones pate during his career as the go-to purveyor of mobile essentials.

But hey, Dan is so much more than 4G maps and state-of-the-art headgear. Before joining the Light Reading team in 2002 he was an award-winning cult hit on Broadway (with four 'Toni' awards, two 'Emma' gongs and a 'Brian' to his name) with his one-man show, "Dan Sings the Show Tunes."

His perfectly crafted blogs, falling under the "Jonestown" banner, have been compared to the works of Chekhov. But only by Dan.
