Wimax ? Upcoming Wireless Technology

Open up New ways to minimize the distances between wireless networks

WiMAX is the abbreviation of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. This new wireless technology is based on standards of IEEE 802.16, so to bring a greater broadband speed and to give a chance of cheap communication over the wireless network. WiMAX has given a great boost to technology; being a provider of true speed for communication.

WiMAX consists of two major applications one is called Fixed WiMAX and other is called Mobile WiMAX. The purpose of first type is to enhance the communication speed of the home users and business officials, where a communication of point to multiple nodes is done. Other type of WiMAX is concerned with the cellular phones and their full mobile utility. Both of these technologies are designed keeping in mind users friendliness, high speed, low cost and large turnover.

WiMAX, VoIP, Killer Apps and the Digital Divide

The emerging standard 802.16 defines a network of wireless broadband at speeds capable of delivering triple play access to voice, data, and multimedia internet services. As a disruptive technology, WiMAX stands to compete with cable companies, the Telcos, and the 3G cellular networks. Thanks to the IEEE standards committee and the WiMAX Forum, the fledgling technology that got serious in 2004 is now being deployed in regions around the world.
Companies like Intel with their World Ahead program have formed partnerships for WiMAX deployments in Asia, Africa, and Europe, in an all out effort to bridge the digital divide. The cost effectiveness and ease of a WiMAX deployment is significant compared to implementing a wireline infrastructure, making the technology a natural choice for underdeveloped townships and hard to reach localities.
As it stands today, most of the deployments are of Fixed WiMAX, offering VoIP and data transfers through line of site and non line of site antennae, with a fiber optic, satellite, or WiMAX backhaul, i.e. Internet connection.

Voice Over Wimax

Voice over WiMAX – Changing the Rules of Telecom

Next generation wireless solution

WiMAX, the solution of choice for next generation broadband, is designed from its core to deliver large throughput with a variety of applications – IP connectivity, voice and video. As both a reliable wireline replacement solution and next step to legacy mobile, it has the ability to support providers in offering first line (or first device) replacement, through product bundles or standalone services. In today’s competitive telecommunications landscape, it has become imperative to deliver a total product portfolio on a broadband basis, even in markets where liberalization processes moved slower than in the leading economies.
