WiFi and WiMAX
Cordless and Cellular

• WiFi (Cordless)
• primarily used to provide a connection within a
  limited area
• operates in unlicensed spectrum
• more powerful devices and those closer to the
  access point tend to get more than their share of
  airtime
• WiMAX (Cellular)
• provide service from central location to most
  locations in service radius, including transient
  users.
• most WiMAX development done on radios which
  operate on licensed frequencies
• devices contend for initial attention, then
  assigned hierarchy

8
WiFi / WiMAX Synergy

• A common user experience for wireless broadband
  services, which is a critical enabler in
  attaining rapid user adoption.
• An open network philosophy where any certified
  WiMAX or WiFi device is able to connect to any
  WiMAX or WiFi network that supports the same
  certification profile, improving todays business
  models for delivering mobile broadband services.
• Vendor agreed-upon certification profiles,
  facilitating volume production and global
  economies of scale.
• Wireless client and network equipment subjected
  to extensive interoperability and conformance
  testing, enabling an open and competitive
  multi-vendor environment.
• An all-IP based network infrastructure, enabling
  cost-effective deployments for operators and open
  Internet services for users.
