What is WIMAX?
Quality of Service
Range
Coverage
RANGE
Optimized for up to 50 Km
Designed to handle many users spread out over kilometres
Designed to tolerate greater multi-path delay spread (signal
reflections) up to 10.0μ seconds
PHY and MAC designed with multi-mile range in mind
BENEFITS OF WIMAX
Speed
Faster than broadband service
Wireless
Not having to lay cables reduces cost
Easier to extend to suburban and rural areas
Broad Coverage
Much wider coverage than WiFi hotspots
Benefits to Customers
Range of technology and service level choices from both
fixed and wireless broadband operators
DSL-like services at DSL prices but with portability
Rapidly declining fixed broadband prices
No more DSL “installation” fees from incumbent
Advantages of WiMax over 3G
Using an assortment of proprietary and standards-based
technologies, such as OFDM and W-CDMA ,WiMax has a
clear advantage over 3G
The advantages include
Higher Throughput
Low Cost
Lower Latency
Advantages of WiMax over 3G
USES OF WIMAX
FUTURE
WiMax will be deployed in three stages
In the first phase WiMaX technology (based on IEEE
802.16-2004) provides fixed wireless connections
In the second phase WiMaX will be available as a cheap
and self-installing Subscriber Terminal (ST), linked to
PC and to antenna
The third phase enables portability, thus WiMAX (based
on IEEE 802.16e) will be integrated into commercial
laptops
Promises
ISSUES in 3G vs. WIMAX
Deployment of the network
WIMAX deployment is in the planning stages and it
might take 3-5 years in providing reasonable coverage in
well populated areas
WiMax may initially be relegated to college campuses
and larger corporate campuses where people are less
mobile and costs containment is important
ISSUES in 3G vs. WIMAX
Cost Issue
The main reason to opt for WIMAX is its low cost.
