Here I write on article How Wimax works and on wimax terminology
Earlier wireless technologies (LMDS, MMDS for example) were unsuccessful in the mass market as they could not deliver services in non-line-of-sight scenarios. This limited the number of subscribers they could…
Fixed WiMAX offers cost effective point to point and point to multipoint solutions. What makes WiMAX so exciting is the broad range of applications it makes possible but not limited…
How does WiMAX compare with the existing and emerging capabilities of 3G and Wi-Fi? The throughput capabilities of WiMAX depend on the channel bandwidth used. Unlike 3G systems, which have…
Naturally, the first application for which a wireless alternative was developed and deployed was voice telephony. These systems, called wireless local-loop (WLL), were quite successful in developing countries such as…
Less complex modulation. OFDM is a simpler modulation technique that is better suited to deployments that do not require support for mobility. License-exempt bands. Mobile services require licensed spectrum to…
The photo above shows the WiMAX radio deployed in an enclosure. Note from left to right: a) copper grounding cable on the inside of the enclosure b) Ethernet connection to…
At the core of WiMAX is the WiMAX radio. A radio contains both a transmitter (sends) and a receiver (receives). It generates electrical oscillations at a frequency known as the…
Point-to-Point(P2P) Point to point is used where there are two points of interest: one sender and one receiver. This is also a scenario for backhaul or the transport from the…
One of the most often heard descriptions of WiMAX in the press is that it is “Wi-Fi on steroids”. In truth, it is considerably more than that. Not only does…
Mobile WiMAX allows any telecommunications to go mobile. Mobile WiMAX takes the fixed wireless application a step furher and enables cell phone-like applications on a much larger scale. For example,…
WiMAX is a coined term or acronym meaning worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX). What WiMAX is however at its heart is a standards initiative. Its purpose is to ensure…
In addition to 3G, Wi-Fi based-systems may be used to provide broadband wireless. Wi-Fi is based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards and is primarily a local area networking…
