FIXED WIRELESS ACCESS Majid Al-Shukri Ali Dumyati

OUTLINE Explanation of the Technology  How Does it Work  Time division multiplexing  Coverage and speed Variations of FWA  Point-to-point  Point-to-multipoint  Multipoint-to-multipoint Advantages of FWA 3G

Explanation of FWA Fixed Wireless Access  Fixed: the receiver must be fixed (no mobility)  Wireless: operates on Radio frequency wave

How Does FWA Work Antenna Internet Server Base Station (Tower) Modem

Explanation of FWA Coverage and speed  9km with 100 Mbps  35km with 2 Mbps

Variations Point-to-point Point-to-multipoint Multipoint-to-multipoint

Variations Point-to-Point FWA Antenna Internet Server A dedicated bandwidth With high data rate

multipoint-to-multipoint system * equipment installed in the client’s location works as a receiver to provide access to the client and as a sender to pass the signals to other clients. * there will a connection between every client and its neighboring clients. the network range can be expanded

multipoint-to-multipoint system (cont..) * This implementation is called the mesh architecture. * every client is represented as a node and the connections between the clients are represented by edges which produce the mesh.

ADVANTEGES OF FWA * 2 and 35 miles from the wireless provider's network. * speeds ranging from one up to 155 (Mbps). * we can use it in different places, for example: Restaurants hotels airports bookstores convention centers

Cont.. * The computer, laptop or any device that we need to connect to the internet must have "wireless modem cards". * some wireless providers offer customers packages where they can get wireless Internet access at a collection of different hotspots (This technology called WiFi).

Third Generation * high-speed Internet access on mobile, or cellular, phones. * This technology would give mobile phone users the ability to access the Internet via their phone at speeds up to 2 Mbps in order to provide multi-media types of services.
