There was a time when military R&D fed the commercial sector, but of course it’s very apparent that commercial off the shelf (COTS) technology is moving the other way.
The army has
long envisioned something like WiMax for battlefield use, but has not got their own technology even close to the point where WiMax is now. So, the soldiers
thought, why not just adapt WiMax (add crypto and test reliability) for combat
use?
On a related note, Intel Capital hosted an investor and CEO gathering today. Their priorities going forward include increased investment in WiMax.
