Sounds no less secure than a well secured WiFi net

It doesn't sound like Wimax is any less secure than a well secured WiFi network. The vulnerabilities that do exist are operating system device drivers, as recently uncovered for WiFi networks. Given that Wimax hasn't rolled out yet, the vendors still have time to tighten up the device drivers in light of the new info on vulnerabilities in that area.

Never trust the security of a wireless system

If you want a high security network then it must be wired. You can make a wireless system reasonably secure but with all of the necessary encryption and other security measures the system will be very hard to use will still not be as secure as a well set up wired network. In other words if you want to do casual stuff wireless is fine. But if you want to do stuff like on line banking, or shopping I will NEVER! do this on a wireless anything.

Re: Never trust the security of a wireless system

...beginning to think VPN to a secure server is about the only way to transit wireless networks....
