I am currently testing WiMax fed high power point muti-point WiFi in Marina & Outdoor applications. Some have been quick event related installations. While this is not in-building it is similar.

Nice one bod. I am a beginner too and had my first taste of telecoms since 2006 after graduation. I have been on few GSM and UMTS optimisation and had few training on RF planning etc. This Wimax thing seems to be taking the telcom world by storm and I believe it is the real business now.
Anyway, I will look at the links and get up to speed. Anything interesting please push it my way.
Hi Donne, glad to have you on board. There are plenty of experts up here that have published whitepapaers and have or are currently deploying 3G to 4G systems.
I am still a novice when it comes to WiMAX. I have worked with wireless LANs more than WiMAX. However in my past military life I did alot of Satellite/Microwave work that is similiar to WiMAX (802.16-2004 (fixed).
What I have to master is the roaming and handoff of WiMAX (802.16e) . Understanding cell pllanning and frequency reuse factors is key. Like the master, Tiger Woods says "it's all good".
I I was to give you something quick to the point , I would point you to this pdf .

There are many learning whitepapers under the URL:

Hi Nafay. You are on the right track. I can not share any answers for the certification test if you are testing. Please call DoceoTech and ask for clarification if you are having trouble with a particular answer. I assume you are testing right?

Hey Reggie, i see youre WiMAX forum certified Engineer. I was just going through the MSA model and got confused over the following:
The model selects by its own the MAX value of(coverage sites, capacity sites) in the "Total Planned Sites" sheet and then calculates CAPEX and OPEX based on those total planned sites values for all the modulations. But in case if i want to maximize capacity for planning purposes i.e. using 16 QAM then do i need to select only the Capactiy sites for calculating CAPEX OPEX and payback values.
Secondly, if there is no payback, then the values in the payback sheet would be represented in brackets ( )..am i right? If not, what do these brackets imply in payback field?
Thanks, i look forward to your response.

Hi Reggie,
I am MSc student in Addis Ababa university, Ethiopia, Africa. Currently I am undertaking MSc thesis in tittled "Design and planning of WiMAX networks for rural connectivity in Ethiopia". The aim of the thesis is to test WiMAX networks performance in addressing rural village broadband applications (which till now doesn't have any connection). In this thesis, first I am expected to design and plan a network for sample rural areas and secondly, I will test the network performance using Simulation tool (NS2). So currently I am facing a problem Designing and planning the network, specially RF planning. So I decide to consult you regarding this issue, hoping your good experiance in this subject will help me in accomplishing the thesis work.
Hi Felix. Thanks. I too look forward, and have already learned some great things from your strong contributions as well. This forum has lots of potential.
