The Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,in short,
WiMAX ,makes it easy for us to get access to fixed Internet access
as well as mobile Internet access.The new word, WiMAX,was first
named by the WiMAX Forum,in June,2000.Sometimes, WiMAX can function
as an alternative to Digital Subscriber Line as well as cable,when
delivers the access of last mile wireless broadband .In fact, WiMAX
has something in common with Wi-Fi and compares with other 3G
cellular technologies, Wi-Fi is much more similar to
WiMAX,though WiMAX can work well at incredibly much
greater distances. The range as well as the bandwidth of
WiMAX,make it ideal for delivering mobile or at-home Internet
access across all cities or countries,which help to increase its
competition in markets.
There are some pieces of news about WiMAX. In December 2004,WiMAX
access was widely used in Aceh, Indonesia whose communication
system was destroyed after the tsunami. WiMAX offered broadband
access which played a great role in regenerating
communication to and from Aceh.On November 12, 2008, HTC unveiled
the Max 4G,which is the earliest WiMAX enabled phone.On March 23,
2010, HTC and Sprint Nextel released the EVO 4G, which is the 2nd
WiMAX enabled phone.In 2011, the HTC Evo 3D was available on the
market.A great number of WiMAX Mobiles will without doubt
hitting the US market in the current year 2011 and in the
coming year 2012.
Over the past year, WiMAX technology achieved great success for
there was obvious growth in subscribers. Operators,are no longer
the ones who were ignored by the public,instead,they are in great
need in building networks as well as signing up customers.They have
drawn more and more attention of subscribers in their own business
markets.For example,in no more than one year’s operation,Yota has
signed up about 500,000 subscribers in Russia with a majority of
subscribers coming from Moscow and Saint Petersburg.What’s more,in
America, Clear was in close proximity to arriving at 1 million
subscriber mark right at the end of 2010, signing up about one
hundred thousand subscribers every month. In Malaysia, P1’s main
concern is always to roll out adequate base stations in order to
meet up with the current demand. Yet,P1 has now owned one hundred
and eighty thousand subscribers and is without a doubt the
country’s 2nd broadband operator when it comes to internet
subscriber adds.From above, we can make a conclusion that WiMAX
technology is becoming more and more popular and important in our
modern society. WiMAX stands for the coming future of modern
broadband Internet and it will make Internet access much cheaper
than ever before.
Nowadays,we can have a variety of ways to get access to the
Internet,such as broadband access, WiFi access,and Dial-up
access.However, broadband access has its disadvantages and the main
disadvantages are as follows:it is very expensive and it cannot
reach all areas. And the fundamental trouble with WiFi access is
that hot spots are not so big, as a result coverage is very
sparse.You may wander if there were technology that can solved
these problems and troubles.I am very glad to tell you that this
kind of technology is actually exist and it is named as
WiMAX.
Then could you imagine what would take place if you have the chance
to get WiMAX. Often,a WiMAX base station was built 10 miles away
from your home by Internet service provider.You would have the urge
to purchase a computer with WiMAX-enabled. You would without doubt
receive a very special kind of encryption code that would help you
to get access to the WiMAX base station. The base station then
would send data which comes from the Internet to your computer, as
a result, you have to give the provider money. Because the provider
runs no cables,the very cost of this sort of service could be so
low that you would have no desire to pay the fees of modern
Internet-subscription.
