Think of the Internet
Present three possible ways to access Internet
Broadband Access The main problem with broad band is that it is expensive and doesnt reach all areas. Wi-Fi Connection The main problem with Wi-Fi access is that hot spots are very small, so coverage is sparse. Dial Up Connection Internet bandwidth is very sparse in this case.
What is WiMAX ?
WiMAX is defined as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access by the WiMAX Forum, formed in June 2001. The new technology promises High speed of broadband service Wireless rather than wired access Broad Coverage
Typical Working
WiMAX is a Wide Area Network (WAN) technology. Service providers will deploy a network of towers that will enable access over many miles. Internet access is instantly available anywhere within coverage areas.
Requirements
WiMAX Tower
1) Coverage area of nearly as big as 3000 sq miles. 2) Generally situated on top of the tall buildings.
the .,.,mount.
WiMAX Subscriber Device
1) Receiver could be a small box or PCMCIA card built in a laptop. 2) It could be a WiMAX wireless modem.
How WiMAX Works ?
Technologies Used
Two key advanced wireless breakthroughs incorporated into the Mobile WIMAX standard
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) smart antenna
technology
the
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
1) Breaking signal into many pieces to increase spectral efficiency. 2) By diversifying the signal in this way, even if some of the pieces
dont make it through ,the signal can be reconstructed at
other end.
Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) smart antenna technology 1) MIMO uses multiple antennas at both ends of the wireless connection (base station and subscriber device) to enable data to travel along multiple independent paths. 2) For example, a 1x2 configuration refers to a device with 1 (transmit) and 2 Rx (receive) antennas; similarly, 3x3 refers to 3 Tx and 3 Rx antennas.

to thrill
Spectrum is either licensed or unlicensed. Unlicensed spectrum is open to any users, which raises the possibility of interference from other devices. Wi-Fi networks use unlicensed spectrum. WIMAX service providers use licensed spectrum, which allows exclusive rights to its use for more predictability and stability.

WiMAX/Wi-Fi Synergies
WiMAX takes your wireless Internet further, but you dont have to burn any Wi-Fi bridges. WiMAX and Wi-Fi are perfectly compatible companions. Together, they give you an always-best connected experience whether you are in a Wi-Fi or WiMAX coverage area
Backhauling Wi-Fi
Word of Caution
Certified WiMAX
WiMAX Forum Certified means anyone can buy a product or service based on the IEEE 802.16 standard from different companies and be confident that everything will work together.

Future with WiMAX
Imagine broadband on the go enabled by WiMAX:
Engaging in an epic, multiplayer 3-D battle on a train Video conferencing from the park Looking up the nearest local bookstore or getting directions to a restaurant while on the move Downloading movies while at the soccer field Staying productive on the road without searching for hotspots
This is our futureand WiMAX will deliver it.
