What is the advantage of WiMax technology

[Galbraith]

Hi all,

WiMax (World Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a standards-based IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access Metropolitan Area Network technology, its basic objective is to provide a kind of in the MAN 1-to-multi point multi-vendor environment, to be effective interoperability of broadband wireless access means. The organization currently has 105 members, even including Alcatel, AT & T, British Telecom, FUJITSU, nokia, as well as Intel and other industry giants.I want to know that what is the advantage of WiMax technology. Please reply. Thanks in advance.

WiMax wireless signal transmission distances up to 50 km, the WIFI (wireless LAN) can not match, and its 3G network coverage area is 10 times the base station, as long as the building of a small number of base stations will be able to achieve full coverage, so that makes a wireless network greatly expanded the scope of application. Check and reply.

WiMax can provide the maximum access speed is 70M, the speed of 3G can provide broadband speeds of 30 times. For wireless networks, this is indeed an amazing step forward. WiMax uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation mode, each channel bandwidth of 20MHz, a stable through the outdoor fixed antenna to send and receive radio waves, therefore, can realize the maximum transmission speed of 74.81M. All the best.

It providing a wide range of multimedia communication services. As the WiMax than Wi-Fi has better scalability and Safe, Thus able to achieve carrier-class multimedia communications services. Including voice, data and video transmission. WiMax can provide users with QoS performance data, video, voice (VoIP) services. WiMax can provide three levels of service: CBR (Con-stant Bit Rate, a fixed bandwidth), CIR (Com-mitted Rate, CIR, BE (Best Effort, best-effort). Best of luck.

TCP / IP agreement one of the features is to channel a higher transmission quality requirements. Wireless broadband access technology, the face of the growing IP data services, must adapt to the TCP / IP agreement of the channel transmission quality requirements. In the application of WiMax technology, under the conditions (outdoor long-distance), wireless channel's fading phenomenon is very significant, in terms of quality unstable radio channel on the use of TCP / IPAgreement, Its efficiency will be very low. WiMax technology in the link layer joined the ARQ mechanism to reduce the errors to reach the network layer of information can greatly improve the system's operational throughput. Check and reply.

It have also some advantages below:
(1) for known interference, narrow channel bandwidth is conducive to avoid interference.
(2) When the information bandwidth, low demand, the narrow channel bandwidth is conducive to save spectrum resources.
(3) Flexible to adjust the bandwidth capacity that will benefit operators or users coordinate spectrum resources.
