Wi-Fi (802.11) White Papers

IEEE 802.16 Medium Access Control and Service Provisioning

Overview This paper describes the IEEE 802.16 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and the 802.16 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols, both of which are key elements of the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Forum (WiMAX) deployments. The paper also discusses the types of provisioning and Quality of Service (QoS) that can be achieved using the features of this MAC protocol to facilitate the WiMAX deployments.

IP poised to storm the call centre

While it is true to say the vast majority of call centres still use traditional switching (aka Time Division Multiplexing or TDM) and plan to do so for the foreseeable future, IP is progressing towards a point of dominance.

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.
