Service operators face some tough decisions as they witness a rising demand for “anywhere, anytime” broadband access. Service-operators sense that there is a real business opportunity to provide a substantial increase to the all-important average revenue per user (ARPU).
Wi-Fi technology has experienced unprecedented growth for both consumer and enterprise use in a very short time. The first IEEE 802.11b based products became available in 1999.
There are several ways of quantifying the performance of a broadband system. This paper will address two pressing issues of WiMAX system design which are interference and capacity analysis
WiMAX is a standards-based wireless technology providing high-speed data and voice services in networks covering long distances and wide ranges. WiMAX can be used for a number of applications including last mile broadband access, hotspot and cellular backhaul for carrier infrastructure, and highspeed enterprise connectivity.
The merits of various radio technologies, and specifically mobile WiMAX, is an on-going debate as these technologies have a direct bearing on the capacity, coverage, quality of service (QoS), and, most importantly, the types of broadband applications that can be supported.
Developing a WiMAX business case could be a complex and time-consuming process. Yet the need to determine the CapEx, OpEx and ROI is critical to any deployment.
City 2.0: Using tech building blocks in tomorrow's urban centers May 15, 2009 (Computerworld) Science fiction writers call it Utopia, the glorious City of the Future. But short of downtown atriums being guarded by invisible walls and flying cars, City 2.0 is not as far off as you may think.
Ubiquitous wireless networks are already available in cities including Baltimore and Minneapolis, corporations such as Thomson Reuters have sustainable data centers that sell power back to the local utility, the smart energy grid is well on its way, and city-provided social networks are common. Indeed, the next steps toward the city of tomorrow are all about integrating these services cohesively, making them widely available across the entire metropolis and managing the services more efficiently.

FCC pledges to "unleash" 4G mobile broadband spectrum FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has pledged to "unleash the spectrum" for 4G mobile broadband. According to Genachowski, the next generation of mobile technology will "make all the difference." MORE >
ISA Expo Showcases Automation Technology Trends Houston — This year’s ISA Expo sought to solve some of manufacturing’s most pressing problems in security, safety, wireless networking, process automation, integration, and energy management.
The show, which wraps up today, hosted several co-located events, including the Microsoft Worldwide Manufacturing Operations Forum, the OpenO&M Executive Summit, and ARC Advisory Group’s Asset Lifecycle Management Knowledge Exchange and Technology Showcase, which spotlighted a number of vendors’ product announcements.
