Hello, everyone!
Today, I would like to share with you an article on the wireless service provider access network scenarios in WiMAX technology.
Based on its technical attributes and service classes, WiMAX is suited to supporting a large number of usage scenarios as it revolutionizes the way we communicate. It provides total freedom to people who are highly mobile, allowing them to stay connected with voice, data, and video services.
Table 1. WiMAX Ranges of Applications
To illustrate the ability of WiMAX to address the applications outlined in above Table 1, the wireless service provider access network usage case scenario is outlined in Table 2.
Table 2. Wireless Service Provider Access Network Usage Scenario
Wireless Service Provider Access Network
Wireless Service Providers (WSPs) use WiMAX networks to provide connectivity to both residential (voice, data and video) and business customers (primarily voice and Internet), as illustrated in the below Figure 1. The WSP could be a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers) that is starting its business with little or no installed infrastructure.

Since WiMAX is easy to deploy, the CLEC can quickly install its network and be in a position to compete with the ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier).
A common network platform, offering voice, data, and video, is highly attractive to end customers because it presents a one-stop-shop and a single monthly bill. Support for multiple service types allows for different revenue streams, yet it reduces customer acquisition cost and increases ARPU (Average Revenue Per User).
The WSP needs only one billing system and one customer database. Cellular operators may also be interested in applying WiMAX in their networks. These operators already have towers, billing infrastructure, and a customer base in place, but the deployment of a WiMAX solution will expand their market presence in their service area.
