Wimax: Prepared by Rekha N S6 Cse

WiMAX is a wireless broadband technology that provides high-speed internet access over long distances, making it suitable for reaching rural areas not served by cables. It uses IEEE 802.16 standards and microwave transmission to connect to towers with ranges of up to 50 km. WiMAX has the potential to replace cable/DSL services and provide universal internet access anywhere through a portable receiver. It works by transmitting data from an internet-connected tower to receivers via non-line-of-sight microwave links, offering faster speeds than WiFi over greater distances for a potentially lower cost than other broadband options.

WiMAX

What is WiMAX?
WiMAX is a wireless broadband
technology.
Commonly associated with IEEE
802.16 standards.

Why do we need WiMAX?


There are different technologies with
which we access internet,namely:
Broadband-great speed
Wireless-mobility and no wires
Dial-up

But Broadbands are costly and do not


reach rural areas.
While wireless is cheaper , its
coverage area is poor

WiMAX
WiMAX provides us with greater
speed
It is cheaper (since its wireless)
And it has potential to cover larger
areas

What is WiMAX???

WiMAX is short for worldwide


interoperability for microwave
access.

WiMAX has the potential to do to


broadband Internet access what cell
phones have done to phone access
WiMAX could replace cable and DSL
services, providing universal Internet
access just about anywhere you go.
WiMAX will also be as painless as WiFi -turning your computer on will
automatically connect you to the closest
available WiMAX antenna.

WiMAX System
WiMAX tower
WiMAX Receiver

WiMAX tower
Connect directly to the Internet using
a high-bandwidth, wired connection.
Connect to another WiMAX tower
using a line-of-sight, microwave link
(this connection is refered to as
blackhaul).
A WiMAX tower can cover upto 3000
sq miles.

WiMAX Receiver
The receiver and antenna could be a
small box or PCMCIA card, or they
could be built into a laptop the way
WiFi access is today.

So WiMax provides both


Line-of-sight : between towers(66
GHz)
Non-line-of-sight : between computer
and
tower(2-11 GHz)

WiFi v/s WiMAX

WiFi

WiMAX

Maximum Speed : 54 Mbps

Maximum Speed : 70 Mbps

Distance/Range : 30m (100ft)

Distance/Range : 50 Km (30
miles)

How WiMAX works?


Once an Internet service provider sets up a
WiMAX base station near your home.
You would receive a special encryption code that
would give you access to the base station.
The base station would beam data from the
Internet to your computer at very high speed for
a monthly fee.
The cost for this service could be much lower
than current high-speed Internet-subscription fees
because the provider never had to run cables.

In case of home networks,the WiMAX


base station would send data to a
WiMAX-enabled router, which would
then send the data to the different
computers on your network.

The WiMAX protocol is designed to accommodate


several different methods of data transmission,
one of which is Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
VoIP allows people to make local, long-distance
and even international calls through a broadband
Internet connection, bypassing phone companies
entirely.
If WiMAX-compatible computers become very
common, the use of VoIP could increase
dramatically. Almost anyone with a laptop could
make VoIP calls.
