Uses

The bandwidth and ambit of WiMAX accomplish it acceptable for the afterward abeyant applications:

Providing carriageable adaptable broadband connectivity beyond cities and countries through a array of devices.

Providing a wireless another to cable and agenda subscriber band (DSL) for "last mile" broadband access.

Providing data, telecommunications (VoIP) and IPTV casework (triple play).

Providing a antecedent of Internet connectivity as allotment of a business chain plan.

edit Internet access

WiMAX can accommodate calm or adaptable Internet admission beyond accomplished cities or countries. In abounding cases this has resulted in antagonism in markets which about alone had admission through an absolute bounden DSL (or similar) operator.

Additionally, accustomed the almost low costs associated with the deployment of a WiMAX arrangement (in allegory with 3G, HSDPA, xDSL, HFC or FTTx), it is now economically applicable to accommodate last-mile broadband Internet admission in limited locations.

edit Backhaul

Mobile WiMAX was a backup applicant for cellular buzz technologies such as GSM and CDMA, or can be acclimated as an bury to admission capacity. Fixed WiMAX is aswell advised as a wireless backhaul technology for 2G, 3G, and 4G networks in both developed and developing nations.910

In North America, backhaul for burghal operations is about provided via one or added chestnut wire band connections, admitting limited cellular operations are sometimes backhauled via satellite. In added regions, burghal and rural backhaul is usually provided by bake links. (The barring to this is breadth the arrangement is operated by an bounden with accessible admission to the chestnut network.) WiMAX has added abundant backhaul bandwidth requirements than bequest cellular applications. Consequently the use of wireless bake backhaul is on the acceleration in North America and absolute bake backhaul links in all regions are getting upgraded.11 Capacities of amid 34 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s 12 are commonly getting deployed with latencies in the adjustment of 1 ms. In abounding cases, operators are accumulation sites application wireless technology and again presenting cartage on to cilia networks breadth convenient.

edit Triple-play

WiMAX supports the technologies that accomplish triple-play account offerings accessible (such as Quality of Account and Multicasting).

On May 7, 2008 in the United States, Sprint Nextel, Google, Intel, Comcast, Bright House, and Time Warner appear a pooling of an boilerplate of 120 MHz of spectrum and alloyed with Clearwire to bazaar the service. The new aggregation hopes to account from accumulated casework offerings and arrangement assets as a springboard accomplished its competitors. The cable companies will accommodate media casework to added ally while accepting admission to the wireless arrangement as a Adaptable basic arrangement abettor to accommodate triple-play services.

Some analystswho? questioned how the accord will plan out: Although fixed-mobile aggregation has been a accustomed agency in the industry, above-mentioned attempts to anatomy partnerships a part of wireless and cable companies accept about bootless to advance to cogent allowances to the participants. Added analysts point out that as wireless progresses to college bandwidth, it accordingly competes added anon with cable and DSL, alarming competitors into collaboration. Also, as wireless broadband networks abound denser and acceptance habits shift, the charge for added backhaul and media account will accelerate, accordingly the befalling to advantage cable assets is accepted to increase.

edit Deployment

WiMAX admission was acclimated to abetment with communicationscitation needed in Aceh, Indonesia, afterwards the tsunami in December 2004. All advice basement in the area, added than abecedarian radio, was destroyedcitation needed, authoritative the survivors clumsy to acquaint with humans alfresco the adversity breadth and carnality versa. WiMAX provided broadband admission that helped change advice to and from Aceh.citation needed

WiMAX accouterments was donated by Intel Corporation to abetment the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and FEMA in their communications efforts in the areas afflicted by Hurricane Katrina.13 In practice, volunteers acclimated mainly self-healing mesh, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and a digital uplink accumulated with Wi-Fi on the bounded link.14
