TECHNOLOGY AND ABSTRACT
SCIENCES. WIMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability
for Microwave Access. WiMAX refers to
broadband wireless networks that are based on
the IEEE 802.16 standard, which ensures
compatibility and interoperability between
broadband wireless access equipment .WiMAX,
which will have a range of up to 31 miles, is
primarily aimed at making broadband network
access widely available without the expense of
stringing wires (as in cable-access broadband) or
the distance limitations of Digital Subscriber
Line.
A WIMAX system consists of
A WiMAX tower, similar in concept to a cell-
phone tower - A single WiMAX tower can
provide coverage to a very large area as big as
3,000 square miles (~8,000 square km).

 INTRODUCTION

 WORKING OF WIMAX THINK OF INTERNET…

 There are three possible ways to
 IEEE 802.16 STANDARD
access internet.
 IEEE 802.16
 Broadband access
SPECIFICATIONS
Uses DSL or cable modem at home
 802.16 ARCHITECTURE and T1 or T3 line at office
  WIFI

Uses WIFI routers at home and

hotspots on the road

 Dial Up Connection

NEW TECHNOLOGY
 Broadband access is too expensive
and Wi-Fi coverage is very sparse.

 The new technology promises

 High speed of broadband

service

 Wireless rather than wired

access

 Broad Coverage
A WIMAX system consists of HOW WIMAX works?
1. A WiMAX tower, similar in concept
to a cell-phone tower - A single
WiMAX tower can provide coverage
to a very large area as big as 3,000
square miles (~8,000 square km).

2. A WiMAX receiver - The receiver

and antenna could be a small box or
Personal Computer Memory card, or
they could be built into a laptop the
way Wi-Fi access is today.

WIMAX Scenario
 Consider a scenario where a WiMax-
enabled computer is 10 miles away
from the WiMax base station.

 A special encryption code is given to

computer to gain access to base
station

 The base station would beam data

from the Internet required for
computer (at speeds potentially
higher than today's cable modems)

 The user would pay the provider

monthly fee for using the service.
The cost for this service could be
much lower than current high-speed
Internet-subscription fees because
the provider never had to run cables
