Broadband Wireless Access With WiMax/802.16: Current Performance Benchmarks and Future Potential

Overview This paper first provides a tutorial overview of 802.16. Then, based on extensive recent studies, this paper presents the realistic attainable throughput and performance of expected WiMax compatible systems based on the 802.16d standard approved in June 2004 (now named 802.16-2004). This paper also suggests future enhancements to the standard that could at least quadruple the achievable data rate, while also increasing the robustness and coverage, with only moderate complexity increases.

The Ovum View: 3G means business... or does it?

Most operators will be struggling to deploy enough coverage to meet their regulatory requirements while still not busting their capital expenditure constraints. That is likely to make for some wide but 'shallow' coverage.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Wireless - who's ready to commit?

Today, there are higher bandwidth options available in the form of Wi-Fi hot spot services and 3G cellular, but questions about coverage, quality of service, security and who will actually deliver each type of service have led to uncertainties...

WiMax comes to Canterbury

We will test all sorts of aspects of WiMax," said Baker, "looking at different frequencies, spectral efficiency, the real world throughput of different equipment and the true range of the cell. Service provider Telabria is starting a city-wide...

Switch to Vista? It's a headache, say IT chiefs

Vista: all the coverage.diams; Time and complexity are putting UK IT managers off migrating their organisation onto Microsoft's Vista operating system. As well as time, the sheer complexity of migration was cited by 62 per cent of IT managers as...

VoIP-over-3G to make some noise

Another crucial factor, according to Bubley, is that upcoming communications standards such as LTE (the intended long-term evolution of 3G) and WiMax are "all-IP, so if you [an operator] are going to deploy them, you are going to have to use VoIP...

Mobiles on the moon? Nasa prepares trial for takeoff

W is for WiMax The final system would initially be served by one or two satellites providing coverage of the south pole, with scope for more satellites to be added as a greater range is required. Data throughput in the MoonLite system would range...

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.
