IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN Specification Accelerates Wireless Broadband Access

Overview This article explains how the new IEEE 802.16 standard and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access) will standardize and promote wireless broadband as a wireless alternative to digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable that can help remove barriers to broadband access. The 802.16 standard defines the Wireless MAN (metropolitan area network) air interface specification (officially known as the IEEE WirelessMAN standard). This wireless broadband access standard could supply the missing link for the "last mile" connection in wireless metropolitan area networks.

Radioactive: The right role for WiMax

If they are unable to do this then WiMax is likely to be relegated to a niche last-mile access technology, such as rural broadband, rather than a key player in a grand scheme for ubiquitous metropolitan broadband.

Philadelphia to offer cheap broadband for whole city

If approved, the project will offer low-cost wireless broadband access throughout the city's 135-square-mile area. In contrast, Verizon just introduced a new 3Mbps downstream digital subscriber line tier that costs $30 a month and plans to lace...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
