WiMAX (802.16) White Papers
Mobile Broadband Wireless Access
Overview Mobile broadband wireless access is needed to provide advanced telecommunications services effectively and affordably to consumers around the world. This paper evaluates the current commercial alternatives to satisfy that need: WiMAX variants, MBWA (IEEE 802.20), Flash-OFDM and 3G technologies. Regulation aspects affect technology adoption and those are discussed along with the current market situation in all major market areas. Finally, vendor strategies and future developments are also evaluated to provide conclusions about which technology or technologies are most likely to gain market acceptance. Based on the material, both 3G (HSDPA) and Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) have widespread support and credible evolution and stand out as the main contenders for mobile broadband deployment within the immediate future.
