WIMAX technology
 Company “NVP Ukravtomatika” offers solutions on WiMAX networks construction.
WiMAX - Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL. WiMAX will provide fixed, nomadic, portable and, eventually, mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the need for direct line-of-sight with a base station. In a typical cell radius deployment of three to ten kilometers, WiMAX Forum Certified™ systems can be expected to deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per channel, for fixed and portable access applications. This is enough bandwidth to simultaneously support hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed connectivity and thousands of residences with DSL speed connectivity. Mobile network deployments are expected to provide up to 15 Mbps of capacity within a typical cell radius deployment of up to three kilometers. It is expected that WiMAX technology will be incorporated in notebook computers and PDAs by 2007, allowing for urban areas and cities to become “metro zones” for portable outdoor broadband wireless access.
Benefits of WIMAX Standard
For Equipment Vendors
- Standards-based, common platform fosters rapid innovation and the addition of new components and services.
- Concentrate on specialization (i.e. Base Stations or CPEs) - no longer need to create an entire end-to- end solution as in proprietary model
For Consumers
- Providing of complex services of broadband access in earlier inaccessible areas – rural and hard-to-service areas
- More players in the market translate into more choices for receiving broadband access services
- Quick “trickle down” effect of cost savings to consumers, translating into lower monthly rates
For Service Providers
- Common Platform drives down costs, fosters healthy competition and encourages innovation
- Enables a relatively low initial CAPEX investment and incremental expenditures that reflect growth
- No more commitments to a single vendor, a typical by-product of the proprietary technology model
- Wireless systems significantly reduce operator investment risk
