The Wireless Landscape
Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area
Network (LR-WPAN) Wireless Wide Area Network
• General-purpose, inexpensive, (WWAN)
self-organizing mesh network. • Metro/Geographical area Wireless Personal Area Network
• • “Always On” Services (WPLAN)
Low data rates and low power • • Small form factor, low-cost,
consumption; a year or two Ubiquitous public connectivity
with a single alkaline battery. with private virtual networks short range, low power, radio
technology.
• Developed to link portable
devices without cables.
Vehicle • Non-licensed spectrum

WIMAX
• WIMAX is very similar to a Wi-Fi but it operates at higher speeds, over greater
distances, and for a greater number of users.
• From the point of view of the infrastructure, a WiMAX network is similar to a cellular
network.
— A based station covers a very large area and can simultaneously operate as a subscriber station
and as a base station in a full mesh network using a line-of-sight link.
— A subscriber station, which could be a small WIMAX receiver box, or a mobile station.
• WIMAX operates in two primary bands, the 10-66 GHz band used where line-of sight
is necessary, and the licensed and un-licensed frequencies of 2 – 11 GHz for those
physical environments where line-of-sight is not necessary.
• WIMAX also supports subscriber stations moving at vehicular speeds.
— The spectrum at 2.5 GHz and below (2.5 GHz, 1.5GHz, 700MHz, etc.) is used because it has
better characteristics for full mobility deployment.
• WIMAX throughput is around 38 Mbit/sec when using orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM), and 78 Mbit/sec when OFDM is combined with multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) antenna processing technology.
• WiMAX expands the availability of broadband service to residences, businesses and
other locations with a high cost of wire deployment.
— Low-density rural locations in developed countries
— Emerging markets where user connectivity is sporadic.
