OOh, intrigue.

I caught wind of a new VoIP service that is coming to the U.S. soon and it runs on a completely different platform than we’ve discussed here — wMax (not to be confused with WiMAX). A company called XG Technology is behind the effort and intends to roll it out to Florida first.

The claim? That this is a low-power, long-range wireless technology that will knock the socks off of WiMAX and other technologies. Understandably, some people are quite skeptical.

According to the New York TImes:

The goal is to roll out a VoIP service in South Florida this year and launch data and modem services in 2009, according to the Financial Times. I’ve called the company to learn more, but have not heard back. If it can deliver a low-power, mobile broadband service that would be a cheaper alternative to cellular and possibly to other wireless broadband efforts, that’s pretty sweet, but it seems a little too good to be true.

More than 100 consumers in the U.K. village of Wick are among the first customers to be connected to BT Group’s next-generation telecommunications network, which went live Tuesday.

The BT 21st Century Network, dubbed 21CN, is one of the most ambitious network overhauls of its kind in the world. Instead of using traditional circuit-switched systems to transport phone calls, the U.K. operator is switching its entire networking infrastructure to IP technology.
The move to an all-IP network will allow BT to offer consumers and businesses "triple-play" voice, data and video services over a single ADSL2+ (asymmetric DSL) broadband connection, at speeds up to 24Mbps. Among the new services supported by the network are voice over IP and IPTV.

At the same time, the move will allow the operator to lower operating costs. It expects to save about 1 billion pounds (US$1.9 billion) per year as a result of the network overhaul. Total cost of the overhaul is estimated at 10 billion pounds.
