Abstract
Overview:
WiMAX, the Broadband Wireless MAN reports on the WiMAX industry and global
market. Its 18-page, succinct Executive Summary addresses key WiMAX
applications, standards, major WiMAX investors and their vested interests,
WiMAX impact on evolving Wi-Fi, the appeal of the 700 MHz band auctioned by
the FCC, WiMAX evolution, the WiMAX Forum and its mission, and a five-year
WiMAX market forecast. Abundant tables and illustrations facilitate an
at-a-glance, clear understanding of the subject under discussion.
WiMAX, the Broadband Wireless MAN defines and describes WiMAX, the exciting
new broadband wireless access (BWA) technology for metropolitan area networks
(MANs), with service now being deployed in the US by Sprint Nextel and
Clearwire - who plan to build a nationwide WiMAX network - and by other
carriers and service providers on a global basis. The study cites the
importance and appeal of WiMAX as a subscriber-based, broadband wireless
technology for fixed, portable, nomadic, and mobile applications with
convergence for data, voice, and video (triple-play) applications.
WiMAX, the Broadband Wireless MAN cites and evaluates the forces that are
driving the WiMAX market, and it addresses viable WiMAX applications. The
study also cites and addresses the major obstacles that could possibly impede
or slow the progress of WiMAX growth. The study addresses strategies for the
success of WiMAX. It identifies and discusses tactics that will make WiMAX a
successful and ubiquitous service.
WiMAX, the Broadband Wireless MAN addresses and defines the IEEE 802.16
standard and each of its amendments. It explains the purpose of each amendment
and where it applies. It also addresses WiMAX technology and its viability as
a reliable and robust wireless technology.
Other key topics addressed by this study include comprehensive WIMAX MIMO
antenna design techniques, wireless mesh backhaul networks and their major
benefits, WiMAX security measures and security issues, competitive wireless
broadband technologies, and the WiMAX Forum, an alliance of vendors who are
promoting WiMAX technology and testing WiMAX products to insure and certify
their conformance to IEEE 802.16 standards and interoperability with other
WiMAX vendor products.
