WiMAX ..........!!
What is mobile WiMAX?
Mobile WiMAX changes the way people experience communications and enables new freedom in mobile information, interaction, user-generated content, and social networking. It offers the possibility of having the Internet, e-mail, online multimedia, live video conferencing, mobile TV, music downloads—practically any data-intensive application—delivered "on the go."
What is WiMAX ?
WiMAX is an open, worldwide standard that covers both fixed and mobile deployments. The only broadband wireless standard built specifically to deliver data, Mobile WiMAX's multi-megabit data rates can lay the foundation for innovative multimedia services and support multimedia content. All-IP network architecture plus full compatibility with standard existing networking infrastructure will make it easier and more cost-effective than current technologies to deploy and operate.
Mobile WiMAX is also the first global standard to bring an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) solution to the mobile world, combined with Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) smart antenna technology. As a result, Mobile WiMAX has the ability to carry more data traffic than current networks, which are running out of capacity to meet increasing demands for mobile data. Not only has Mobile WiMAX been designed to deliver superior data rates and scalability, lower costs, and reduced complexity, but it also offers greater flexibility compared to existing mobile solutions. And the 802.16 standard will continue to evolve with a focus on maintaining a competitive lead and offering core advantages for future network development and deployment.
Intel WiMAX leadership
With the substantial cost, performance, and capacity improvements expected from WiMAX technology, service providers will be able to create the mass-market appeal and tap the full potential of the true mobile Internet.
Intel is bringing to market standards-based, low-cost, highly integrated silicon solutions that are expected to facilitate global delivery of notebooks, Ultra Mobile Devices, and a wide array of consumer devices with the Wi-Fi/WiMAX dual-mode module (codenamed "Echo Peak"). Add-in cards will be available in 2007 and embedded modules in 2008. The integration of Wi-Fi and WiMAX promises convenient and affordable broadband connectivity in the home, at the office, as well as on the go, enabling users to enjoy a common experience on either network and to gain access to real-time, high-value information wherever they are.
Global connectivity
Developed markets—More choices about where you work or play
Mobile WiMAX can facilitate real-time sharing of information and consumers and businesses alike can stay connected while on the move outside the home or workplace. The integration of Mobile WiMAX and Wi-Fi provide a transparent, "always best connected" experience for "on the go" personal broadband anytime, anywhere.
Developing/Emerging markets—Bridging the digital divide
Mobile WiMAX offers fixed, portable, and mobile wireless broadband connectivity. Because it is optimized for both fixed and mobile environments and does not rely on direct line-of-sight connectivity, Mobile WiMAX brings high-speed broadband Internet access (with modest investment risk for service providers) to areas that previously had no access. This would be particularly effective, for example, to enable online education and remote medicine. It is especially important in emerging/rural markets where little wired infrastructure exists and is not likely to be built.
