Licensed frequencies and OFDM make for a very secure connection.


Any ideas why i can't get wimax detected with my NIT?
What kind of gibberish is that from Clearwire? OFDM is a modulation scheme (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and is used in WiFi (802.11a/g) as well as other transmission schemes and has nothing to do with security. Whether they operate in licensed or unlicensed bands has nothing to do with security either. If the signal is there someone can scan it and intercept packets.
