WiMAX
is available in 2006 for commercial deployment. Infrastructure: requires
backhaul to feed wireless network, base stations. The spectrum uses both
licensed and unlicensed band.
WiMAX is a strong contender for high mobility enterprise applications. As the
cost of WiMAX approaches that of WiFi, WiMAX becomes the next generation of
wireless broadband technology. WiMAX targets multiple site mass metropolitan
applications.
WiMAX is a lot like WiFi, but unlike WiFi's 200 Meter range, WiMAX has a reach
of one to 25 to 30 KM, offering a way to bring the Internet to entire
communities without having to invest billions of dollars to install phone or
cable networks. WiMAX can deliver favorable cost, reach, security, and
usability.
During the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in the U.S. gulf coast, the
communications infrastructure collapsed, except for WiMAX, putting a spotlight
on market opportunities for broadband wireless systems for all major
metropolitan areas. UTStarcom equipment was used in combination with WiMAX
switches to achieve connectivity.
Within five hours of the arrival of graduate students with a wireless network
after hurricane Katrina struck the gulf coast, anyone with a laptop at the
hospital where the network was installed could send e-mail, surf the Web and
send instant messages. With an Internet telephone, they could make and receive
calls over the connection that is similar to a low-priced DSL link.
To expand coverage, the students deployed broadband wireless equipment to set
up additional wireless access points and mesh them together to form a single
cloud that could extend for more than 10 miles. The military-grade equipment
works even if one node goes down.
Worldwide WiMAX switch wireless WiMAX market forecasts at $34.5 million dollars
are at 2005 anticipated to reach $19.9 billion by 2011. Broadband wireless
markets are anticipated to grow as a result of the lower cost of implementing
infrastructure using the WiMAX systems.
