WiMAX, making ubiquitous
high-speed data services
a reality
S T R A T E G Y W H I T E P A P E R
Imagine a single wireless technology that can:
?make portable Internet a reality by extending public WLAN
hotspots to metropolitan area coverage for mobile data-centric
service delivery,
?connect enterprises and residential users in urban and suburban
environments where access to copper plant is difficult,
?bridge the digital divide by delivering broadband in low-density
areas.
Thanks to its innovative technology, WiMAX will offer broadband
wireless access at data rates of multiple Mbit/s to the end-user and
within a range of several kilometers. The same radio technology
will also offer high-speed data services to all nomadic terminals
(laptops, PDAs, etc.) with an optimized trade off between
throughput and coverage. Ultimately it will enable the “Portable
Internet” usage replicating on the move the same user experience
as at home or at the office.
Given its huge benefits, WiMAX will develop as a powerful radio
access solution with many integration synergies in mobile or
fixed network architecture. WiMAX will also enable end-users to
benefit from an “…
