WiMAX, making ubiquitous high-speed data services a reality
Overview Imagine a single wireless technology that can: -connect enterprises and residential users in urban and suburban -environments where access to copper plant is difficult, -make portable Internet a reality by extending public WLAN hotspots to city hotzones, -further expand hotzones to metropolitan area coverage for mobile data-centric service delivery. -Such a technology exists today. WiMAX. Thanks to state-of-the-art radio technology, WiMAX offers broadband wireless access at data rates of several tens of Mbit/s (up to 75 Mbit/s per base station) and within a range of several tens of kilometers (up to 50 km). This same radio technology offers high-speed data services to all nomadic terminals (laptops, PDAs, etc.) at a better cost:performance ratio than 3G, given an optimized trade off between throughput and mobility. Finally, WiMAX incorporates Quality of Service elements to offer multimedia services, including voice. Given its huge benefits, WiMAX will develop as a self-standing radio access solution in the global network architecture. WiMAX will also enable end-users to benefit from an "Always Best Connected" experience when accessing their applications via the best available network, at home, on the pause, or on the move. A technology with such enormous potential is destined for a bright future.
