WiMAX Technology
For a wire-free world
Abstract:
The main problems with broadband access today are that it is pretty expensive and it doesn't reach all areas. The main problem with WiFi access is that hot spots are very small, so coverage is sparse. What if there were a new technology that solved all of these problems? This new technology would provide:
The high speed of broadband service.
Wireless rather than wired access, so it would be a lot less expensive than cable or DSL and much easier to extend to suburban and rural areas.
Broad coverage like the cell phone network instead of small WiFi hotspots.
This system is actually coming into being right now, and it is called WiMAX.
WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access has emerged as the most promising wide-area wireless broadband technology in a short span of time. The technology is being adopted in a number of markets and is poised for dramatic growth in India as well. As it can cover relatively long distances, WiMAX has the potential to serve everything from low-density residential applications to enterprise customers. Many companies are closely examining WiMAX for "last mile" connectivity at high data rates. This could result in lower pricing for both home and business customers as competition lowers prices.
In areas without pre-existing physical cable or telephone networks, WiMAX will, it appears, be a viable alternative for broadband access that has been economically unavailable. Prior to WiMax, many operators have been using proprietary fixed wireless technologies for broadband services.
In this paper we will discuss about the WiMAX technology other technologies competing with it and the growth of this technology in India.
