introduction Wireless Communication Infrastructure Of Wimax Wimax Vs Wi-fi Wimax technology Concluding remarks

A radio technology that networks the devices.


Refers to wireless LAN products based on the IEEE 802.11b specification

Provides easy connections to the internet and business networks while traveling
The main attractive feature of this technology is that it can provide wireless broadband connection within a specific geographic boundary.

Infrastructure Mode AD HOC Mode

There are many WiFi hotspots now available in public places like restaurants, hotels, libraries and airports. For example, Spenser PLAZA The number of hotspots in the world is growing daily.

It is one of the most promising broadband wireless access technology for next generation all-IP networks. The 802.16 family of standards is officially called Wireless MAN, it has been dubbed WiMAX form World wide Interoperability for Microwave Access.

Provide high-speed Internet access to and business subscribers, without wires. 10-66 GHz and sub 11 GHz Legacy voice systems

WiMAX is targeted for longer range Metropolitan Area (indoor & outdoor) Different from Wi-Fi, which is primarily targeted for Local Area Network (indoor) applications. The main distinction between WiFi and WiMAX is speed and coverage distances: WiFi has a typical bandwidth of 2MBps whereas WiMAX can have a bandwidth of up to 75MBps. The coverage distances also differ to a great extent. A WiFi hotspot typically covers a few hundred feet radius (fraction of a kilometer) whereas a WiMAX can practically cover up to a distance of 10 kilometers.

WiMAX works as point to multipoint system, which is made up of base station and subscriber equipment

A WIMAX tower: similar in concept to a cell-phone tower. A single WIMAX tower can provide coverage to a very large area (~10 km).

A WIMAX receiver : The receiver and antenna could be a small box or PCMCIA card, or could be built into a laptop. NEC Japan has announced its new and compact WiMAX router with embedded wireless LAN, it is dubbed the NEC WiMax Router

Any wireless node within the coverage area would be able to access the Internet

WiMAX Broadband Applications WiMAX VoIP Broadband Data Connections Digital Television Urban WiMAX Hot Zones

The below shown gadgets are the latest using WiMAX technology

Portable or fixed mounted cameras can be used to capture video or still images of a vehicle accident to send to emergency room doctors.

Doctors at the emergency room can see the vehicle and get an understanding of the mechanism of injury to guide their treatment of the victim.

Enables real time monitoring of Patients on the way to the Hospitals

Cameras inside ambulances can capture video of patients to send to emergency room doctors for consultation.

Doctors at the emergency room can help guide treatment of the victim, especially important for time critical treatment.

Remote diagnosis can shorten the time before treatment which can potentially save lives and shorten recovery time
