Business Case Models for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Based on WiMAX Technology and the 802.16 Standard

Overview The term WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) has become synonymous with the IEEE 802.16 Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) air interface standard. In its original release the 802.16 standard addressed applications in licensed bands in the 10 to 66 GHz frequency range. Subsequent amendments have extended the 802.16 air interface standard to cover non-line of sight (NLOS) applications in licensed and unlicensed bands in the sub 11 GHz frequency range. This paper will provide a detailed business case analysis for the WiMAX technology in fixed wireless applications in the sub 11 GHz frequency range.

Ofcom auction: High-frequency spectrum to highest bidders

Telecoms regulator Ofcom is to auction four bands of high-frequency spectrum which could be used for wireless broadband services. The bands - at 10GHz, 28GHz, 32GHz and 40GHz - are able to carry large amounts of data over relatively short distances.

Kerching! Ofcom flogs more spectrum

The spectrum licences, which are technology and service neutral, are in the higher frequency bands at 10GHz to 40GHz, which is suitable for wireless network infrastructure and high capacity wireless services across buildings in close proximity.

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.
