- The IEEE 802.16, the Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems, also known as the IEEE WirelessMAN air interface, is an emerging suite of standards for fixed, portable and mobile BWA in MAN.
Advantages and disadvantages of WiMAX - WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Acess services brings long time term evolution in the wireless sector. It is similar to the Wi-Fi both create hot-spots. Wi-Fi technology can cover several 100 meters while covering a range of 40-50 km. It can also provide a wireless alternative to cable, DSL, and broadband access. The main advantages of WiMAX are that it allows high-speed wireless internet connection over the broad coverage area, while main disadvantages of WiMAX is still much bigger installation coast and also operational cost. Now let us check it out the information about the advantages and disadvantages of WiMAX to know more details about it.
Advantages of WiMAX : - A single location can serve hundreds of users
- Single WiMax BS serves hundreds of users
- Much faster deployment of the new user as compared to wired networks
- It creates a volume opportunity for silicon suppliers
- The speed of 10 Mbps at 10 kilometers with a line of sight
- It is considered to be a cheaper alternative to broadband wired technologies viz. ADSL, cable modem etc
- It is standardized, and also have same frequency equipment should work together
- There exists a standard based, the stable platform upon which to rapidly add new capabilities so it is innovating more rapidly
- Higher bandwidth
- High coverage range
- High speed can be achieve
Advantages of WiMAX : - Lower cost
- Communication range up to 100 miles
- Does not require telephone lines
- Provide mobility to a user with access to the internet
- Design with better quality services
- No SIM card requires
- Non-line of sight connection
- It works on an unlicensed frequency spectrum
- Cellular like performance is achieved with mobile WiMAX
