    Networking PPT On WiMAX Vs WiFi

    Uploaded by

    Karthik Avinash
    The document compares WiMAX and Wi-Fi technologies. WiMAX is a wireless technology providing broadband connectivity over long distances, intended as an alternative to cable and DSL. It has both fixed and mobile versions. Wi-Fi is a local wireless technology used to connect devices in homes and businesses without cables. It has grown to also provide public wireless access. While Wi-Fi focuses on short range indoor use, WiMAX is designed for larger outdoor coverage over distances of 50 km and supports thousands of users. WiMAX also provides better quality of service guarantees and security compared to Wi-Fi.

    WiMAX and Wi-Fi are wireless broadband technologies based on different IEEE standards. WiMAX is designed for larger coverage areas like metropolitan networks while Wi-Fi is optimized for smaller indoor coverage. WiMAX comes in fixed and mobile forms while Wi-Fi is more for wireless access.

    WiMAX is designed for larger coverage areas like metropolitan networks while Wi-Fi is optimized for smaller indoor coverage. WiMAX supports mesh networking topologies while Wi-Fi does not support meshing within standards. WiMAX also supports advanced antenna techniques.

    WiMAX has higher scalability and can support thousands of users with channel bandwidths from 1.5MHz to 20MHz. It also has a higher maximum bit rate of around 5 bps/Hz compared to 2.7 bps/Hz for Wi-Fi. WiMAX is designed for metropolitan performance while Wi-Fi is optimized for indoor use.

    WiMAX Vs Wi-Fi

    WiMAX

    Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Brand licensed by the WiMax Forum. a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL WiMAX was seen as more of a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) technology providing a much larger coverage. Based on IEEE 802.16

    WiMAX
    WiMAX, in fact, comes in two forms, a so called fixed WiMAX and a mobile WiMAX.

    WiMAX in its fixed form is seen as a possible alternative to expensive cable and fibre deployment.
    It is faster to deploy and less expensive and it also offers operators more flexibility in terms of deployment time frame and possible installation areas. 3G or other cellular network operators could see this as a potential substitute or as a complement to their cellular product.

    Wi-Fi

    Stands for Wireless Fidelity. Brand licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Wi-Fi is a local area network technology that was originally thought to replace the thousands of miles of LAN cables. Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) Based on IEEE 802.11

    Wi-Fi
    Wi-Fi has grown from being just a LAN cable replacement technology to a public wireless access technology. Cheap and readily available equipment. WiFi has been viewed as complementary to 3G and other mobile standards as it has worked to enhance mobile services offered by operators. Its coverage is not as great as that of 3G, but it gives a much higher transmission rate than mobile technology. Handoff between WiFi access points is still not possible and, therefore, it is known more as a wireless access technology than a mobile technology.

    Wi-Fi
    New developments are taking place within the 802.11 standardization group With the increasing popularity of VoIP, many see WiFi as one of the possible means of using VoIP with some form of mobility
