  1. WiMAX Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

  2. WiMAX • "WiMAX is not a technology, but rather a certification mark, or 'stamp of approval' given to equipment that meets certain conformity and interoperability tests for the IEEE 802.16 family of standards.

  3. WiMAX • IEEE 802.16 standard, Dec. 2001 • 802.16a Jan.’03, 802.16e 2nd half ’05 • officially known as WirelessMAN • "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL"

  4. WiMAX Network Wireless MAN Hot Spot Home Tower Laptop 30 mi. radius w/LOS Hot Spot PDA Work The further away from the tower the slower the speed of data delivery

  5. WiMAX • the 802.16 MAC uses a scheduling algorithm, where the subscriber station only has to compete once (for initial entry into the network). After that it is allocated a time slot by the base station. The time slot can enlarge and contract, but it remains assigned to the subscriber station, meaning that other subscribers cannot use it. This scheduling algorithm is stable under overload and over-subscription

  6. WiMAX • It can also be more bandwidth efficient. The scheduling algorithm also allows the base station to control QoS parameters by balancing the time-slot assignments among the application needs of the subscriber stations. • Range from 2 to 66 GHz - Most interest will probably be in the 802.16d and .16e standards, since the lower frequencies suffer less from signal attenuation and therefore give improved range and in-building penetration.

  7. WiMAX Speed vrs Mobility

  8. WiMAX • 3.5 GHz, 2.3/2.5 GHz, or 5 GHz, • Connecting Wi-Fi hotspots with each other and to other parts of the Internet • Providing a wireless alternative to cable and DSL for last mile (last km) broadband access. • Providing high-speed mobile data and telecommunications services (4G) • several companies have announced plans to utilize the WiMAX standard in the 1.7/2.1 GHz spectrum band recently auctioned by the FCC, for deployment of "Advanced Wireless Services"(AWS)…..3G stuff…..

  9. Redline Base and station units
