WiMax, a new wireless communications technology, is making quite the splash in the world of wireless internet.  It is promoted as a standards-based technology that enables the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access and an alternative to cable or DSL connections.  WiMax technology is useful in many areas, from connections to Wi-Fi hotspots, to business continuity plans, to portable connectivity.  It seems to have a bright future ahead though it has yet to have caught on strong.In order to speed up WiMax´s saturation of the marketplace and promote this latest development in internet technology, the WiMax Forum has been created.  Beginning in 2001, the group seeks to promote conformity and interoperability of broadband wireless products based upon the harmonized IEEE 802.16/ETSI HiperMAN standard (in other words, the standard upon which this internet technology functions).  It is a non-for-profit and industry-led organization focused on the global adoption of WiMax as a premier choice for broadband wireless internet.Today, the Forum consists of more than 500 members, including most operators and vendors involved in the business of WiMax.  One of its main goals is to speed up the introduction and establishment of the cutting edge systems into the market.  Though WiMax is a growing technology, it is still relatively new in the industry and faces tough competition, including long-range Wi-Fi and mesh networking.  The Forum seeks to aid those involved in the technology to succeed.  One of the premier ways in which the group does this is by certifying the operability of WiMax products.  With the aim of promoting and accelerating the introduction of cost-effective broadband wireless accesses, the WiMax Forum conducts conformance and interoperability testing on products.  Those products that “pass” the test receive the designation of “WiMax Forum Certified,” which they are allowed to display on labels and other marketing materials.  Another approach the Forum takes in the promotion of WiMax technology is that of education.  The Board of Directors knows that it is important to spread the word and the knowledge about this new wireless option.  This is why the group currently offers a certified training problem in both English and French.  Throughout the year, it also holds several member events in hopes of fostering a WiMax community and spreading news and ideas.  The WiMax Forum endorses industry events as well.Recently, the Forum organized several working groups composed of industry members and leaders.  The aim of such groups is to address and focus on the most critical current issues of the technology in order to bring more WiMax Forum Certified products to the marketplace.While those involved in the budding WiMax industry still have a ways to go, the WiMax Forum is sure to be with them every step of the way.  As with any technology, catching on may take some time.  However, the careful planning and cooperation fostered by the WiMax Forum and its members promises a bright future on the horizon for this new and innovative wireless technology.

WiMAX has so far struggled to establish a foothold in the mature markets of Europe, North America and Asia, and many view the emerging markets, with their low fixed-line penetration, as the key hunting ground for WiMAX. However, the combination of several factors including technology evolution, cost, coverage, vendor support and service provider choices limit WiMAX’s future potential as a mass-market broadband technology in emerging markets. As a result, WiMAX will remain a niche technology, forming part of established fixed and mobile operators’ broader broadband access portfolios.

The ultimate mobile phone accessory? This is how mobile phone enthusiasts are referring to Nokia’s greatest comeback, the N810 WiMax internet tablet. This device is schedule to hit the American market around summer time and is expected to reach great sales due to the many features it sports, for instance it has a gorgeous 4.13 inch WVGA touch screen which is capable of displaying over 65 thousand colors and has a resolution of 800X400 (wide screen). Beyond the beautiful display, this device is capable to using mobile phone data networks if the mobile phone being used is Bluetooth compatible, the connection can be easily established between the two through a link cable or if the user is near a hot spot this device can use detect that WiFi connection and use it to access the web.

Before going any further we need to mention the GPS capabilities of this device. Users can take advantage of this integrated GPS for easy navigation or can access Google maps through a web connection, either way this tablet provides enough features to help users get around town.

The tablet looks much like the Creative Zen W media player which is also wide, however this Nokia’s tablet main purpose is to provide easy access to the web instead of multimedia playback which is what the Zen W was made for; don’t misinterpret this las statement though, the N810 WiMax is capable of media (audio/video) playback and has a 2GB of internal memory which makes it quite flexible, however some users will agree that 2GB is not enough, which is why Nokia included an expansion slot compatible with microSD cards which can go as high as 8GB.

The built in slide-out QWERTY keyboard is nicely done and makes it easy for users to type web addresses and send emails and by the way if you have a Gmail account you will see that the built in browser’s capabilities are amazing since it shows web pages exactly the way they are, in other words users have access to the real web through its high speed compatible ports. The browser it uses is powered by Mozilla, the same guys who provide the famous Firefox. The operation system it uses is the open source Linux-based OS2008 so you know that as far as security you are covered.

The are so many features found in this device such as easy access to RSS feeds through its reader, built-in multimedia player, and such, that is hard to cover them all in one article. If you are a mobile phone and web enthusiast then you will love the features found in Nokia’s internet tablet.

WiMAX is another name for IEEE 802.16, an international standard
that allows for computers to be networked together and access
the internet wirelessly. Although similar to Wi-Fi, WiMAX
has a much broader range, and allows for faster data transfer
speeds.

Because of the fact that a single WiMAX base station can cover
an entire metropolitan area, it allows for true mobility rather
than having to hop from hotspot to hotspot as is necessary with
Wi-Fi connections

Everything shows that this year will be decisive for selecting technology for 4G wireless systems. Wireless networks of the Fourth Generation should provide mobile data transmission at speeds of 100 Mbps – to fast-moving terminals – and 1 Gbps in the case of relatively fixed positions of the terminals. Currently the development of mobile technologies for 4G goes two ways, WiMAX and LTE.

WiMAX technology is more advanced in terms of implementation. However, it lacks a major marketing success which could persuade manufacturers to start production of new, cheaper devices.

The concept of building all-American 4G networks based on WiMAX – first pushed by Sprint company, then developed as a common project with Clearwire – still faces difficulties. Despite the expenditure of 3 billion dollars, the service has so far been launched only in Baltimore and Portland. The companies announced to include another 10 cities this year. However, there are new disturbing facts – at the end of last year Alcatel-Lucent abandoned development of solutions based on WiMAX technology, in January this year Nokia stopped work on WiMAX devices as well. According to vice-president Anssi Vanjoki from Nokia, LTE technology is more promising.

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is being developed to improve the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). LTE is to increase the performance of the 3G UMTS packet service (based on TCP/IP protocol), with data rates over 100 Mbps. It has been adopted as a 4G standard by AT&T, Telstra, Vodafone, China Telecom, T-Mobile, and Verizon yet.

In January this year, an agreement was signed between Ericsson and TeliaSonera to launch commercial LTE network in Stockholm. In early February 2009, Motorola started the first test 4G network using LTE technology in Swindon, UK.

At CeBIT 2009, the only exhibit concerning LTE technology was… the poster at Alcatel stand. Lack of sufficient funds for investments in new technologies may stop development of both WiMAX and LTE:

Internet has permeated through all walks of lives, and this has tremendously increased the need for better connectivity. Lately, businesses regardless of being offline or online, view internet and its connectivity as an indispensable part of their business process. However, remote areas and their businesses had to be satisfied with the available connectivity, owing to chiefly, higher cost of laying cables where returns would be minimal for the service providers. Growing hunger for internet usage has spurred technology providers into action to produce a slew of connectivity tools. Among them, two distinct technologies called WiMAX and HSPA have emerged to fight it to the hilt for the larger share of connectivity pie.

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is the technology that allows user to navigate the internet wireless. It is a telecommunication technology that can carry data to long distances either by point to point links or full mobile access. The key feature of this technology is that it operates on the same Broadband Wireless Access Standard of IEEE 802.16, which was set up in 1999. WiMAX also has the ability to extend local Wi-Fi networks over larger expanse of coverage area by up to 50 kilometers and its backed by Intel, world’s largest semiconductor company.

Similarly, High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) too boasts of superior technology akin to that of WiMAX. In a nutshell, it is a collection of mobile telephony protocols that provide better performance over existing radio bandwidth. Equipped with state of the art 3.5G technology, it can touch amazing download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. HSPA should be proud to get the support from leading equipment vendors including Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel, Alcatel and Lucent. Its proven ability to perform extremely well in any condition and download speeds has helped the technology to be absorbed across several countries in a short span of time.

Unfortunately, WiMAX was not without its own problems, in Australia, first WiMAX operator had to shut down its operation due to poor reach to long distances, contrary to its claim. On the other hand, HSPA service was able to produce the desire result in over 50 countries and 150 networks. For example, in some places subscribers could already watch streaming High Definition movies at 1Mbps. HSPA has also got a cost advantage over the other, per month charges as of now is in the realm of $30, whereas one has to shell out $10 more to get the same service from WiMAX.

Since majority of the people spend time outside their workplaces, e-mobility has become an inevitable tool in communication and business. Whether the winner is WiMAX or HSPA, wider expanse of area under internet connectivity through wireless services will enhance people to do day to day business, being anywhere in the world. High speed internet access through wireless technology will propel growth in all areas including business, education and healthcare.

Global internet wireless connectivity will also give an advantage for an entrepreneur who is away from the main markets to get reasonable remuneration for one’s products or services. Real time e-mobility effects coupled with long distance internet coverage for one’s communication suggests, E-Commerce will be the biggest gainer and is likely to increase its share in the world of business.

Things on the technology front are growing every day. New software keeps us moving forward and reaching new heights. When it comes to staying connected around the world, faster and easier is what most people are looking for. Say hello to WiMax.What exactly is WiMax? The phrase WiMax stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It sounds like instructions for using your microwave oven but it’s not. WiMax is thought of as a technology but it is rather a way that certain technologies are used in the world. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard.WiMax pertains to how we can communicate through several mediums more easily and efficiently. In this case, we are talking about mobile technology. You may have heard about 3G and now, 4G networks. These networks allow people to use their mobile tools to do the same things that they can accomplish on their computers at home. It was unheard of twenty years ago to have a cellular telephone that didn’t plug into your car lighter. It dialed like a regular phone and that was it. Still, the fact that you could communicate with someone while driving in your car was amazing.Over the years, cellular phones gained more features and now they have more functions. If your cellular phone only makes phone calls you are living in the dark ages. WiMax makes it possible for mobile technology to send and receive data and run applications.  You can connect to the Internet on your cellular phone and answer emails, surf the Web and get turn-by-turn direction from your home to another destination.WiMax has a greater range than Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is similar but conforms to a different set of standards (IEEE 802.11). You may recognize these numbers from your laptop or wireless router. It governs the way that you gain access to wireless services using your devices. That includes how good the connection is and how efficient.Have you ever noticed that your Internet connection goes out in some places? WiMax is attempting to bridge that gap and provide greater coverage areas. Just the fact that it works well with mobile technology increases its value. People move…a lot. They want technology and high-speed access that goes with them.It is important to have a wireless network that will support all of the users. Typically, if the amount of users increases, the bandwidth afforded to each user is decreased. With WiMax, the system bandwidth will need to be shared among the users but the lower bandwidth may have a longer reach over a larger area.

Bharatbook.com is glad to announce a new report titled “Market Report of WiMax in Asia & Pacific” .

This report analyzes the development status quo and development trend of WiMax in Asia & Pacific, including Japan, China, India, Vietnam and so on. 

As the America, Europe, and Asia operators’ transition to broadband wireless network, and the fact that Intel has begun to deliver Wi-Fi/WiMAX module applied for PC, most industry insiders estimate that the demand for 802.16e product will grow drastically in 2008. South Korea is a forerunner in Asia WiMAX market, which launched mobile WiMAX-WiBro of Korean edition in 2006. In June 30th 2006, KT and SKT, the two Korean companies, cooperated to launch the first commercial mobile WiMAX network called “WiBro”, which was operated formally and which was the first commercial mobile WiMAX network in the world. There are over 10 Asia-pacific countries which begin to deploy experimental or commercial network. Almost all operators in this region will try to seize the opportunity of WiMAX, and especially those developing countries now have growing interest at WiMAX. Many developing countries regard WiMAX as a cost-saving and effective method to provide broadband service for underdeveloped, rural and remote regions. Asia will soon become an important market for WiMAX.
