WIMAX BANGLADESH

I think it will take time in Bangladesh to spread wimax technology, because all telco operators already invest huge for voice data, sms, mms communication. If any company wants to switch WiMAX they have to invest again though it’s a very good technology and faster then 42 times any others technology. I think it will take time. But if wimax provider distributes bandwidth to core district of Bangladesh from now they will be benefited. Continue

Uplink interference in WiMAX

One of the prime concerns for WiMAX network designers is to eliminate the unwanted signals from network. Unlike traditional Single carrier/TDMA based systems, WiMAX 16e requires greater understanding of frequency allocations because of OFDMA based scheduling. Most licenses issued by the regulators around the World do not allow leverage of planning with frequency re-use patterns of 3x3x3 and designers have to persist with re-use patterns of 1x3x3. One of the factors that influence the inter-cell… Continue

WiMAX in Hawaii

Last week I was invited to Hawaii by the General Manager with Clearwire to see a preview of the upcoming WiMAX launch. The new brand for Clearwire in WiMAX will be called Clear(TM). This was a very exciting experience because up until then I had never seen WiMAX in action. Our company has over 25 dealers actively selling Clearwire in Hawaii and their excitment was as much as mine. While it was all work and no play for me in Hawaii, I really can't complain. Playing with the products, getting a pr… Continue

Mobile WiMAX in India? Forget it !

Well, after a great deal of waiting, and as the commonwealth games are due in 2010, the auctions of 3G could not be postponed any longer.

Amsterdam is for.......

Well, Amsterdam is for all kinds for things. One of them is WIMAX, where the WiMAX Forum, through it's partner, Informa, holds it's annual Global Congress. It was downsized somewhat from last year, I would say about 30%. The booths were empty, because unlike other shows, Informa held seminar tracks concurrently with the exhibit hours, and most attendees decided to attend the sessions. I did have some very good conversations, and my company did actually close a multi-country deal at the show (ca… Continue
