  13. Last three years in ME • WiFi Zones • Public Areas applications • WiFi Phones • Fixed pre-Wimaxed links. • Triple Player (Video, Data & Voice) over wireless. • ………

  14. WiFi Hot Spots • Café Shops • Airports • Railway stations • Hospitals • Public areas • …..

  15. Wireless Cities (Open Access WiFi) • San Francisco • Moscow • Rwanda • Los Anglos • Riyadh • Philadelphia • ……….

  16. WiFi , RFID & NFC

  17. WiFi , RFID & NFC • NFC offers a simple, touch-based solution that allows consumers to exchange information and to access content and services in an intuitive way. • Overall the interaction between phone and RFID tags has been good. The reader/writer is on the base of the phone, at the bottom. This seems a little awkward to use at first, but slowly becomes natural.

  18. NFC Applications Can be used in: • Car Parking • Super Markets • Petrol Stations • Public Areas ….. • ….. City of Caen, France, to demonstrate simplicity of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology

  19. Wi-Fi Hotspots at 40,000 feet height • Time, for many of passengers, definitely is money. • Many of airlines understanding this need, • Emirates is the first airlines in ME has invested in the WiFi hotspot making it possible.

  20. Mosquito-FiMosquito catching over Wi-Fi • It’s an electronic vacuum cleaner that omits odors attractive to mosquitoes. • better to kill mosquitoes before they breed!

  21. WiFi Against Mosquito rights group • “We've meshed a great mosquito-catching machine with a computer technology on top of it, and wireless network technology on top of that, and then turned it into a great defensive shield against mosquitoes coming into your habitat” …Devin Hosea, AmBio CEO • “So far we don't know of any mosquito rights group, so it's totally PC to kill as many as you want” …Devin Hosea, AmBio CEO http://cnet.com.au/wireless/0,39028844,40058467,00.htm

  22. Why are we interested in WiMAX? • bandwidth • QoS • services • standards and a rural model ….

  23. WiMAX Access Application

  24. 1st mile & Last mile

  25. WiMAX/3G Debate • Is WiMAX a threat to 3G ? • Voice networks backhauls. • Mobily Case in Saudi … • ITC …

  26. IEEE / ETSI Standards

  27. IEEE, ETSI & WIMAX for Fixed

  28. IEEE, ETSI & WIMAX for Mobile

  29. Solar powered WiFi/WiMax • solar-powered WiFi router/WiMax router/surveillance cam that can be situated a top a streetlight. The access point may uses a high gain omni antenna and a high gain parabolic antenna to provide access/security to both developed and developing regions; it is already in use in Cameroon, with plans for deployment to India, China, and Morocco.

  30. WiMAX Planning & Designing • The major challenge for WiMAX designing in ME is GIS availability. • Satellite service provider

  31. Tanajib Ras Tanura Dhahran Abqaiq Udhailiyah Yanbu Rabigh ME GIS

  32. Saudi GIS

  33. Smart Antennas Designing • because the available broadcast spectrum is limited, attempts to increase traffic within a fixed bandwidth create more interference in the system and degrade the signal quality

  34. Smart Antennas (Beamforming) Smart Antennas System Non-Smart Antennas System

  35. Will Mobile WiMAX Kill Wi-Fi? • The approval of the IEEE 802.16e standard for mobile WiMAX raises many unanswered questions about the future of Wi-Fi. • About 90 % of laptops are now delivered with built-in support for Wi-Fi. • The number of public Wi-Fi hotspots continues to grow. • Mesh WiFi … will be deployed 2006/2007 Mobile WiMAX won’t kill Wi-Fi Competitive, But Not a Replacement

  36. Wi-Fi & WiMAX are Friends

  37. WiBRO 2006 @ Korea • Wireless Broadband Access, part of the IEEE 802.16 family. • 2.3 GHz closely related to the mobile WiMAX. • WiBro rollout this year @ South Korean. • Government has mandated that WiBro will have a minimum download of 512 Kbps and a minimum upload 128 Kbps. • WiMAX to backhoul the Wibro • Samsung has demonstrated a 4 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload. • Samsung announced a PDA with WiBro capability.

  38. MAKKA Case Study

  39. MAKKA Case Study Ministry of Hajj in Saudi: • To cover the whole Makka area wireless. • More than 450 buildings to be connected. • Mena & Arafat second phase coverage. • Smart automated system to manage the Hajj season. • WiMAX / WiFi application
