WiMAX Opportunities in the Broadcast Environment

Tags:
mobile - wireless communications

Overview WiMAX is a fully integrated companion to the widely adopted Wi-Fi wireless broadband technology found in homes and businesses around the world. While Wi-Fi was developed to cover small areas such as a home, coffee shop or office floor, WiMAX is intended to deliver 'Last mile' wireless broadband access over large coverage areas - typically as an alternative to Cable and DSL (Digital Subscriber Line). Put another way, Wi-Fi is analogous to the cordless phone, whereas WiMAX is analogous to a macro wireless Personal Communications (PCS) network.
