WiMAX

WiMAX provides fixed, portable or mobile non-line-of sight service from a base station to a subscriber station. Some goals for WiMAX include a radius of service coverage of 6 miles from a WiMAX base station for point-to-multipoint, non-line-of-sight service. This service should deliver approximately 40 megabits per second (Mbps) for fixed and portable access applications. A WiMAX cell site should offer enough bandwidth to support hundreds of businesses with T1 speeds and thousands of residential customers with the equivalent of DSL services from one base station.

WiMAX has the potential to replace a number of existing telecommunications infrastructures. In a fixed wireless configuration it can replace the copper wire networks, cable TV's coaxial cable infrastructure while offering Internet Service Provider (ISP) services.

Mobile WiMAX takes the fixed wireless application a step further and enables cell phone-like applications on a much larger scale. Mobile WiMAX enables streaming video to be broadcast from a speeding police or other emergency vehicle at over 70 MPH. In addition to being the final leg in a quadruple play, it offers superior building penetration and improved security measures over fixed WiMAX. Mobile WiMAX will be very valuable for emerging services such as mobile TV and gaming.
