Hi SB, WiMax fixed (not mobile) architecture will be the same as the "pre-wimax" broadband fixed wireless architectures currently used by wireless ISPs. The only difference is that the WiMax protocol set is larger and more inclusuve than the protocol set(s) used by some of the wireless ISPs today.
Typically city governments do not today own and operate their own broadband CDMA networks but cell phone companies (mostly owned in the U.S. by the large, monopolistic incumbent telephone companies) do own CDMA networks. If the backbone portions of these CDMA networks are built or upgraded to provide enough extra bandwidth capacity, then it may be possible to piggyback onto this infrastructure to backhaul future WiMax access points that are located at existing cell sites. jack SB wrote: > I am a newbie in wireless telecom filed. can anyone please map out the > hardware infrastructure required for WiMax from core, backhaul to > access and also explain how it is different from standard Wireless > infrastructure. > > Also, if a city already has an infrastructure set up for CDMA wirless > communication and they now want to establish WiMax. can they use/piggy > back on some of the existing infrastructure or needs to set up a > completely separate one. > > > > -- Jack Unger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - President, Ask-Wi.Com, Inc.
