    WIMAX is a wireless technology that provides broadband connectivity over long distances using microwave transmission. It allows high-speed internet access on laptops without needing a physical connection. WIMAX uses licensed frequencies from 2-11 GHz to provide coverage up to 30 miles for fixed devices and 3-10 miles for mobile devices. It has the potential to deliver cable modem-like speeds wirelessly to rural and remote areas that are difficult to connect with physical lines.

    QUICK GLANCE

    WIMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,


    the stage of mobile communications that will enable things like IP-based
    voice, data, gaming services and high quality streamed multimedia on
    portable devices with cable modem-like transmission speeds.
    HISTORY
    What is WIMAX ?
     WIMAX is a wireless digital communications
    system also known as IEEE 802.16.
     WIMAX can provide broadband wireless
    access up to 30 miles(50 km) for fixed stations
    and 3-10 miles(5-15 km) for mobile stations.
     It allows a user, to browse the internet on a
    laptop without physically connecting it to a
    router.
     It involves microwaves for the transfer of
    data wirelessly.

    Architecture

    IEEE 802.16 Protocol Architecture has 4 layers: Convergence,


    MAC, Transmission and physical, which can be mapped to two OSI
    lowest layers: physical and data link
    HOW IT WORKS ?
     A WIMAX tower station can
    connect directly to the internet
    using a high-bandwidth, wired
    connection.

     It can also connect to another


    WIMAX tower using a line-of-sight,
    microwave link.

     This connection to a second tower,


    along with the ability of a single
    tower to cover up to 3,000 square
    miles, is what allows WIMAX to
    provide coverage to remote rural
    areas.

    TYPES…
    Fixed WiMAX
     Typically, fixed
    WiMAX networks
    have a higher-gain
    directional antenna
    installed near the client
    (customer) which
    results in greatly
    increased range and
    throughput
    TYPES…
     Mobile WiMAX networks
    are usually made of indoor
    "customer premises
    equipment" (CPE) such as
    desktop modems, laptops with
    integrated Mobile WiMAX or
    other Mobile WiMAX devices.
    Mobile WiMAX devices
    typically have an omni-
    directional antenna which is of
    lower-gain compared to
    directional antennas but are
    more portable

    FUTURE
     WiMax will be deployed in three stages
    In the first phase WiMax technology (based on
    IEEE 802.16-2004) provides fixed wireless
    connections
    In the second phase WiMax will be available as
    a cheap and self-installing Subscriber Terminal
    (ST), linked to PC and to antenna
    The third phase enables portability, thus
    WiMAX (based on IEEE 802.16e) will be
    integrated into commercial laptops
    Conclusion
     It is highly unlikely that WiMAX will compete with
    or replace every other wireless technology; however,
    WiMAX will fulfill a very valuable role in the
    wireless ecosystem.
     By providing and overview of the fundamental
    WiMAX business models, as well as market and
    technological challenges, we have attempted to
    illustrate the implications of creating and capturing
    value through WiMAX.
     By outlining market players and the competitive
    nature of the WiMAX market, we have attempted to
    provide a glimpse of what the WiMAX landscape may
    resemble in the not so distant future.
