Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access - WiMAX

WiMAX is a wireless communications standards-based technology that is used in Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint wireless networks. WiMAX is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard and the name WiMAX is a marketing term coined by the WiMAX Forum.

This figure shows a LMDS system. This diagram shows that the major component of a wireless cable system is the head-end equipment. The head-end equipment is equivalent to a telephone central office. The head-end building has a satellite connection for cable channels and video players for video on demand. The head-end is linked to base stations (BS) which transmits radio frequency signals for reception. An antenna and receiver in the home converts the microwave radio signals into the standard television channels for use in the home. As in traditional cable systems, a set-top box decodes the signal for input to the television. Low frequency wireless cable systems such as MMDS wireless cable systems (approx 2.5 GHz) can reach up to approximately 70 miles. High frequency LMDS systems (approx 28 GHz) can only reach approximately 5 miles.
