Hi,
Recently it was in news about the WiMax broad band internet connections. What are the this connections and how does it works. I had heard that this type of internet support can give out an support of around 15mbps of high speed internet access. Does this is true. This is really a revolutionary speed. What about this on the wireless mode. Thanks in advance.
WiMax is a set of technical standards based on standard 802.16 wireless transmission to the transmission of broadband IP data over the air. The theoretical maximum throughput supported by the WiMax is 70 Mbit / s over a theoretical distance of several tens of kilometers. It is a very suitable choice for wide area network.
WiMax is an alternative to the deployment of broadband networks in the territories, whether or not covered by other technologies such as ADSL or cable. WiMAX makes it possible to use both sedentary and nomadic broadband Internet. On the one hand, municipalities, businesses and individuals connect to wireless Internet from a fixed station that communicates by radio waves via a base station called Base Station. In another, users can enjoy fast connection wherever they are from when they are located indoors.
WiMAX can truly revolutionize high speed Internet, as GSM networks have changed the use of telephony with the spread of mobile across France. The power flow and range of WiMax would virtually eliminate the digital divide between local communities. The establishment of new uses of broadband technology are also considered: the mobility and availability of information is crucial in the transportation or security, and also facilitate the work of employees on the road, managed care and hospital Medical.
WiMax internet works via connected by fiber optic infrastructure provider to the Internet, the base station communicates simultaneously with several hundreds of antennas to subscribers. The advertised speeds are of course theoretical, since the waves are disturbed by natural and artificial obstacles like trees or buildings. Actual rates should move towards more 15 to 25 Mbits / sec.
The main needs for a setting up a WiMax network is first license support. Only a limited number of licensees are able to deploy WiMAX networks. The band opened for this purpose extends from 3.4 GHz to 3.6 GHz. It needs a high point to ensure the best possible coverage. It needs a wide setup which is costly. Other advantages of WiMAX is its speed and scope.
