I disagree. Robust as what? Did they change the PHY when they went from 802.16 to 802.16e-2005? Go take a look at the 802.16e standard. I have all 840 pages of it sitting on my desk. I haven't done any formal testing yet with mobile operations, but I have done some informal work driving around in a Jeep. It works and it works well. Not sure if it can complete with the 3G technologies like EVDO.

I'm not sure what iDEN has to do with the WiMAX. iDEN still has its place in the world.
