Product Description
Wi-MAX is a big deal because it’s cheaper, smaller, simpler and easier to use than any existing broadband option (DSL, cable, fiber, 3G wireless) – it also bypasses the existing wired infrastructure and legacy service providers (i.e. the phone and cable companies). This book provides a basic technical introduction to the IEEE standard, allowing engineers, technologists, and decision-makers to ascertain how this hugely disruptive technology is going to affect their businesses.
From the Back Cover
Master 802.16
Get a thorough introduction to WiMAX--the revolutionary new 802.16 IEEE standard for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless broadband access. Written by networking expert Frank Ohrtman, this detailed guide annotates the 802.16 specification and explains how to design and build a robust, reliable, and secure WiMAX network that takes full advantage of the wide range, increased throughput, and “last mile” solutions offered by WiMAX.
Comprehensive Coverage
This unique resource describes how WiMAX affects current telecom technologies including Wi-Fi, fiber optics, and VoIP, and discusses the business and economic implications of this ground-breaking technology. Readers will find complete details on:
Annotated 802.16 specification
WiMAX architecture
Range, power, bandwidth, and roaming
QoS and security
Enterprise and residential applications
Wireless Metro Area Network (WMAN) deployments
Regulatory aspects including FCC guidelines
A DETAILED GUIDE TO WiMAX
Introduction * The Specs on the IEEE 802.16 * Range, Power and Bandwidth--The “Why” of WiMAX * WiMAX Quality of Service * Security * WiMAX Architecture: The Death of Fiber-Optic Networks As We Know Them * VoIP, WiMAX, and Wi-Fi: The Death of Telephone Companies As We Know Them * Video and WiMAX: The Death of Cable TV as We Know It • Economics of WiMAX * Regulatory Aspects of WiMAX * Conclusion: WiMAX as Disruptive Technology
