WiMAX TECHNOLOGY

WiMAX Network WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is an exciting new technology that delivers carrier class, high-speed, wireless broadband at a much lower cost than cellular and over a much greater range than WiFi. WiMAX delivers not just significant improvements in speed, throughput and capacity to home and small business users, but also enables portable and mobile services to laptops and handheld devices. The appeal of WiMAX systems lies in the fact that they can be applied to a host of applications offered by a range of different providers including cellular operators, wire line carriers, cable operators, MSOs and new entrants. WiMAX makes new performance levels and new provider economics possible, transforming the business case for deployment of broadband wireless access. It creates the environment for high quality, multi-megabit services to be delivered to end users more cost effectively by creating a global marketplace and a framework for inspiring innovation. WiMAX has two options: Fixed WiMAX, based on the standard IEEE 802.16-2004 or 802.16d, and IEEE 802.16-2005 or 802.16e that supports both fixed and mobile usage.
