Clearwire and the American WISPs: New Opportunities and Consolidation

Overview The long term promise of WiMAX networks may lie in licensed spectrum and mobility, but many of the early opportunities will lie in the unlicensed 5.8GHz band. This is especially true in the US, where licensed frequencies are held by only a few players and where high power allowances make the 5GHz bands appropriate for covering relatively sparsely populated rural areas. This promise, plus the increasing demand for broadband services in rural regions, is creating new interest among wireless ISPs and sparking a wave of consolidation.

Ovum View: BT in pole position for wireless LAN

Consequently, a WLAN service operating in the public ISM bands - particularly at 2.4GHz while 5GHz is a 'cleaner' band - will not be able to guarantee a specific quality of service (QoS). Due to problems with interference in the frequency bands...

Wireless - still the UK government's big broadband chance?

Like 2.4GHz, 5GHz - where 802.11a operates - is likely to be declared an unlicensed band, while 3.4GHz will be licensed. The government should prioritise the deployment of broadband services when deciding policy on spectrum allocations in the bands...

UK wireless auction 'fundamentally flawed'

It is PCCW, though, that now controls most of the UK's 3.4GHz band. Graham MacDonald, senior radio executive at Intellect, said: "There's a growing feeling that the spectrum will be used to provide services other than wireless broadband.

WiMax comes to Canterbury

The frequencies covered by the university trial are likely to include the 3.6GHz spectrum licensed to PCCW, and the 5.8GHz band covered by Ofcom's "light licensing" regime. We will test all sorts of aspects of WiMax," said Baker, "looking at...

The future of Bluephone: It's the business

BT Retail's Livingstone, however, said WiMax could also be on the agenda. With Fusion currently only working on GSM, a broader spectrum could also be on the cards. We will always look at the spectrum.

Cheaper 3G in the frame as Ofcom consults

Although operators have been keen to secure it as an extension band for 3G-derived services - and may yet do so to keep rival technologies such as WiMax out of the market - the nature of the frequency makes it even less of a long-range technology...

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.
