The document discusses WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), a new wireless technology that can provide broadband internet access over long distances more cheaply and with broader coverage than existing options. It describes how WiMAX networks work with towers and receivers, the types of WiMAX (fixed and mobile), advantages like bandwidth flexibility and quick installation, and comparisons between WiMAX and other technologies like WiFi. The conclusion predicts that within five years, WiMAX will be the dominant wireless technology and provide low-cost, fixed and mobile broadband access to more areas.

WIMAX
Contents Introduction New Technology WiMAX Working Types of WiMAX
Advantages & Disadvantages
Broadband Access Future
Comparision of WiMAX & WIFI
Mobile WiMAX Broadband Conclusion
INTRODUCTION There are basically three different options: BROADBAND ACCESS WIFI ACCESS DIAL-UP ACCESS
The main problems with broadband access are that it is pretty expensive & it doesnt reach all areas. The main problem with WIFI is that hot spots are
very small, so coverage is sparse.
New Technology WiMAX
This new Technology would provide: That is less expensive than cable Much easier to extend to rural areas Broad coverage like cell phone networks. WiMAX is a wireless digital communications system also known as IEEE 802.16.
Working There are two parts: WiMAX Tower WiMAX Receiver WiMAX stations connect directly to the internet with a wired connection.
TYPES OF WIMAX FIXED WIMAX: Fixed WIMAX
deployments do not cater for hand off between base stations, therefore the service provider cannot offer mobility.
MOBILE WIMAX: Mobile WIMAX
implementations can be used to deliver both fixed SAMSUNG MOBILE WIMAX DEVICES & mobile services.
DISADVANTAGES WiMAX can operate at higher bitrates or over longer
distances but not both. Omni directional antennas are used.
BROADBAND ACCESS Many companies are closely examining WIMAX for last-mile" connectivity at high data rates. The resulting competitions may bring lower pricing for both home & business customers, or bring broadband access to places where it has been economically unavailable.
FUTURE Anywhere, Anytime, Connectivity Cost Effective High speed of Broadband service
COMPARISON B/W WIMAX & WIFI
WIMAX WiMAX is a long
WiFi WiFi is shorter range
range system. system. WiMAX provides WiFi is more services analogous to analogous to a cell phone. cordless phone. It uses a mechanism WiFi has introduced based on setting up a quality of service connections between mechanism similar the base station & to fixed Ethernet, user device. where packet can receive different priorities based on their tags.
Mobile WIMAX Broadband
Conclusion Within five years, we expect WiMAX to be the dominant technology for wireless networking. By that time it will be fully mobile, as well as providing lowcost, fixed broadband access that will open up regions where internet access has no far not been practical.
