Three years after a less-than-glorious exit from the media stage, Manitoba’s Craig family is attempting to re-emerge with a plan to capitalize on the next phase of wireless telecommunications technology.

In the process, brothers Drew and Boyd Craig will go up against industry giants Bell Canada Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc. to offer customers voice, data and video on wireless devices through a WiMax network, billed as the next generation of WiFi that sends wireless transmissions over long distances using radio signals.

For the kind of pervasive coverage envisioned by citywide WiFi networks, it can be argued that WiMAX is a better choice from a technical standpoint. One of the complaints about municipal WiFi networks is spotty coverage indoors, a problem that shouldn’t be nearly as severe with WiMAX’s licensed spectrum—especially with WiMAX-802.11b/g/n routers and femtocells arriving on the scene.

Things to remember: Eye height should be level with top of the monitor screen. However, if using bi-focals, lower the monitor and tilt the screen upward to avoid neck strain. Elbow height should be level with the top of the keyboard. Seat height should allow your feet to rest flat while maintaining 90° at hips.
