kilometers. In the urban environment (without the optical visibility) users can have 10
Mbps at 2 kilometers. If users are moving, the speed can drop significantly.
Bandwidth is shared among users in a given radio sector. If there are many users in one
sector, they will have lower speed. Users could have 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 Mbps of the shared
bandwidth.
More expensive installation and operational cost is still the most significant disadvantage
of WiMAX.
So let’s put together on a paper all known WiMAX advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages :
Disadvantages :
So what will be the solution for higher bandwidth (BW) requirements to the corporate
sector for their intra-net? No operator wants to give all his available BW at a sector to a
customer. It will not be cost effective to them. Also this is about unlicensed band.
Licensed frequencies are definitely hard and expensive to buy.
If we talk about one corporate network, we'd better use 5.8Ghz or other frequency and
fixed network, but not WiMAX! It has much higher throughput than WiMAX, because
you can use 10Mhz for channel bandwith. It is available!
May we can go for lisence free band 2.4Ghz, 5.8Ghz. For backhaul links it is better to use
WiFi, which can reach high throughput (37Mbps) in Point-to-Point links. And it has low
cost and ther is no paid cannon radioelectric (use ISM band).
Regardless of what the WiMAX forum is telling us, the 2.5Ghz spectrum is only
functional in urban area where it can leverage reflective surfaces and where it can have
good line of site in rural markets.The basic unspoken issue here is how ineffective the
2.5Ghz systems are when addressing any type foliage, those horrible little things called
leaves have a tendancy to absorb all RF in that frequency, such as trees and bushes,
which means that most of the East Coast. If you talk to the vendor engineers out of the
reach of the marketing/sales types they will agree with the above. Wait until the FCC
releases the 700Mhz spectrum and then WiAMAX makes a great deal of sense, unless the
Cell Carriers win the spectrum and control it.
The last, but not lease, disadvantage of WiMAX technology is that true standards-based
large mobile network deployments will probably not occur very soon. In the meantime,
solutions based on EV-DO, HSDPA, and various proprietary technologies have already
become available.
