As the demand for broadband services continues to grow worldwide, traditional solutions, such as digital cable and fiber optics, are often difficult and expensive to implement, especially in rural and remote areas. The emerging Wi MAX system satisfies the growing need for high data-rate applications such as voiceover IP, video conferencing, interactive gaming, and multimedia streaming. Wi MAX deployments not only serve residential and enterprise users but can also be deployed as a backhaul for Wi-Fi hotspots or 3G cellular towers. By providing affordable wireless broadband access, the technology of Wi MAX will revolutionize broadband communications in the developed world and bridge the digital divide in developing countries. Part of the Wi MAX Handbook, this volume focuses on the applications of Wi MAX. The book describes the logical architecture of IEEE 802.16, introduces some of the main IEEE 802.16 family standards, compares Wi MAX to Wi-Fi, and studies the feasibility of supporting Vo IP over Wi MAX. It also looks at the residential use of Wi MAX as well as the strategies of using Wi MAX in remote locales and rural communities. In addition, the book examines the backhaul requirements of a large fixed wireless network and the problem of centralized routing and scheduling for IEEE 802.16 mesh networks.With the revolutionary technology of Wi MAX, the lives of many will undoubtedly improve, thereby leading to greater economic empowerment.
