General Wimax infoGeneral Wimax info What is wimax?

Wimax is a wireless digital communications system, also known

as IEEE 802.16, that is intended for wireless "metropolitan area

networks". WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access (BWA)up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3 - 10 miles (5 - 15

km) for mobile stations. In contrast, the WiFi/802.11 wireless local

area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300

feet (30 - 100m).

General Wimax infoGeneral Wimax info contcont Is WiMAX Safe?

Since much of the technology being utilized in the IEEE 802.16standard (WiMAX standard) is widely deployed, there is ahistorical body of evidence supporting the safety of technologies

used in upcoming WiMAX and WiMAX products. Microwave andother spectrum technologies enjoy over a hundred years ofhistorical evidence of safety when prudently handled andconfigured. The amount of power allowed to deliver broadbandwireless signal varies from frequency to frequency, however, mostare modest topping out at around 40 watts at the tower relaysite. While certain basic precautions need to be taken whenonsite at communications towers (i.e. standing directly in front of

active microwave links at essentially zero range) theconfigurations for public use are understood and safe. Customerpremise equipment is even safer.

General Wimax infoGeneral Wimax info contcont Why is WiMAX important for fixed broadband wireless?

WiMAX is arguably even more important for the fixed broadband wireless segmentthan mobile broadband, at least internally to that industry. It seems clear that mobilebroadband wireless holds the loftier long term monetary and customer growthpotential. However, the fixed wireless segment has been fragmented essentially sinceits inception. There are no cohesive standards for outdoor metropolitan areanetworks beyond the adapted Wi-Fi technologies. Wi-Fi as a standard has beenaccepted in broad strokes by the industry and the public. However, it is not a wellconceived citywide technology.

This industry has languished due to the inability to foment a cohesive technologystrategy. Innovative features were restricted to individual brands with the result thatnumerous innovations if combined would have greatly improved results for all. Sincemost fixed broadband wireless systems in the US rely primarily upon unlicensedband technology, the potential for WiMAX to impact this segment, albeit a small

segment did not appear very good. However, the advent of fixed WiMAX radiosystems in the 3.65 GHz bands in the US that have been adapted from licensed band3.5 GHz technology originally designed for European and Asian markets offers realhope for WiMAX impact in the US. Due to the number of adherents for the technologyLTE will certainly play a major if not dominant part in the mobile broadband wirelessequation.

General Wimax infoGeneral Wimax info contcont Why is WiMAX important for mobile broadband wireless?

Mobile broadband wireless or 3G has enjoyed two largely consistentstandards, those being the code division multiple access (CDMA) basedapproach with its evolution data only (EVDO) and the universal mobile

telecommunications system (UMTS) and its faster upgrade high speeddownlink packet access (HSDPA), which in particular has gained somedeployments in the past year. However, these technologies were slow tomature into economically viable and affordable iterations. The EVDOschema is now in a Revision A version which improves bandwidthconsiderably. Verizon and Sprint are the first US based carriers to beginwide deployment. Sprint currently has deployed most of its markets with3G as has Verizon. The bandwidth limitations have been significant and

the adoption by carriers, particularly those utilizing GSM technology herein the US has been very slow (as they are essentially incompatibletechnologies).

General Wimax infoGeneral Wimax info contcont Will WiMAX replace DSL and Cable?

It is important to remember that WiMAX is a global broadbandwireless standard. The question of whether or not it could replaceeither DSL or Cable will vary from region to region. Many

developing countries simply do not have the infrastructure tosupport either cable or DSL broadband technologies. In fact,many such countries are already widely using proprietarybroadband wireless technologies. Even in such regions however,it is very unlikely that either Cable or DSL technologies woulddisappear. The business case and basic infrastructure oftendictates that the cheapest solutions will predominate. In manyareas in developing nations, it may be cheaper to deploy Cable

and DSL in the cities at least for fixed applications, whereasWiMAX will dominate outside of major towns.

General Wimax infoGeneral Wimax info contcont Is WiMAX a mobile technology?

Yes. The standard for Mobile WiMAX or IEEE 802.16e was finalized late in 2005.

Increasingly, it appears that the 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard is the version thatthe majority of operators are moving towards. While it is premature to say that the802.16d version is likely to wither away, most vendors, even those busily shippingFixed WiMAX radios, have upgrade procedures in place for customers to switch.

The 802.16e Mobile WiMAX standard can competently support fixed broadbandapplications as well as mobile. The jury is a bit out as to how well that can be doneon a homogenous mobile/fixed needs network as the types of customers served are abit different. In general, customers utilizing a Fixed WiMAX service are more oftenbusinesses with much higher bandwidth and IP-based service needs. Clearly, hybridnetworks may make a lot more sense in the short run for many serviceproviders. The most recent feedback from carriers is that they feel truly mobilecapability even for most business customers has enormous marketing power andexpectations are that mobility will predominate. Clearly for US carriers, which largelymeans Clearwire, mobile applications are the future.
