WiMAX and the Wireless Broadband Revolution: the Technical, Business, and Spectrum Policy Ramifications in the Global Marketplace
Course Description
Find out how your country can join the wireless broadband revolution.
This course, taught by representatives from the world's largest chip maker and a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products, will provide a global "behind the scenes" look at the technologies and standards driving the wireless broadband revolution. The course will focus on how standards-based wireless broadband technologies can enable flexible, low cost, high quality Internet access solutions for developing countries.
WiMAX is an open, worldwide standard that covers both fixed and mobile deployments. Designed specifically to deliver data, Mobile WiMAX provides multi-megabit data rates which can lay the foundation for innovative multimedia services and support multimedia content. The All-IP network architecture plus full compatibility with standard existing networking infrastructure can facilitate high performance, reduced cost, as well as rapid deployment.
This course will also cover standards-based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN).
Finally, the course will address what spectrum allocation, allotment, and assignment policies are best suited to fostering the efficient adoption and deployment of these technologies.
Classroom discussions will be supplemented by demonstrations.
