WORLDWIDE INTEROPERABILITY FOR MICROWAVE ACCESS

2. THE WORLD TODAY
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE POPULAR WITH GLOBALISATION
INTERNET IS BECOMING THE NEXT NECESSITY AFTER “THE MOBILE REVOLUTION”

3. WAYS OF INTERNET ACCESS
DIAL-UP
BROADBAND
Wi-Fi

4. PROBLEMS DIAL-UP  SLOW SPEED BROADBAND  EXPENSIVE
Wi-Fi  SPARSE COVERAGE

5. WIDE COVERAGE HIGHER CAPACITY KEY ELEMENTS OF WiMAX TECHNOLOGY
LOW COST
WIDE COVERAGE
HIGHER CAPACITY

7. LINE-OF-SIGHT NOT NEEDED BETWEEN USER AND BASE-STATION
IEEE SPECIFICATIONS:
RANGE  30 MILE (50 KM) RADIUS
FROM BASE STATION
SPEED  70 Mbps
LINE-OF-SIGHT NOT NEEDED BETWEEN USER AND BASE-STATION
FREQUENCY BANDS  2 TO 11 GHz AND 10 TO 66 GHz

8. WiMAX RECEPTORS RECEIVE FROM MULTIPLE TRANSMITTING TOWERS
GOVERNMENT SECURITY
WiMAX RECEPTORS RECEIVE FROM MULTIPLE TRANSMITTING TOWERS
DESTRUCTION OF A TOWER BY TERRORIST ATTACK OR ANY CALAMITY WOULD NOT AFFECT CRUCIAL COMMUNICATION

9. PAN – PERSONAL AREA NETWORK
NETWORK COMPARISION
PAN – PERSONAL AREA NETWORK
EG. BLUETOOTH
LAN – LOCAL AREA NETWORK
EG. Wi-Fi
MAN – METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK
EG. WiMAX

10. IEEE STANDARD AND RANGE
WiMAX RANGE  8000 SQ. KMS

11. Wi-Fi ROUTERS CAN BE CONNECTED TO WiMAX
WiMAX APPLICATIONS
24 X 7 INTERNET ACCESS
Wi-Fi ROUTERS CAN BE CONNECTED TO WiMAX
VoIP (VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL)
LAST MILE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY

12. VoIP SHARE OF INERNATIONAL TRAFFIC
THE GRAPH SHOWS CLEAR INCREASE IN THE VoIP SERVICES

13. “ INDIA USED 70 MILLION MINUTES OF VoIP SERVICES LAST YEAR ”
VoIP AND INDIA
“ INDIA USED 70 MILLION MINUTES OF VoIP SERVICES LAST YEAR ”
-The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India

14. WHY INDIA NEEDS WiMAX
ONLY 50% OF INDIAN POPULATION HAS RESIDENTIAL INTERNET ACCESS
THE REST RELY ON THE CYBER CAFÉ’S
14% OF INDIA’S VILLAGES DO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC TELEPHONE

15. CELLULAR PHONES REVOLUTIONISED TELEPHONY IN INDIA
INDIA PREFERS WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES
CELLULAR PHONES REVOLUTIONISED TELEPHONY IN INDIA
CELLULAR PHONE MARKET GREW 159% LAST YEAR
INDIA ADDS APPROX. 1.7MILLION NEW CELLPHONE SUBSCRIBERS EVERY MONTH

16. THE IT REQUIREMENT
INDIA BECOMING A MAJOR GLOBAL IT HUB
BROADBAND INTERNET CONNECTIVITY A MUST
MORE INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES WILL BE DRAWN IF BETTER NETWORKING FACILITIES PROVIDED

17. INDIA – LAND OF DIVERSE GEOGRAPHIES
LAYING OUT WIRES CAN BE DIFFICULT IN SOME HILLY AREAS
ISLANDS TOO POSE THE SAME PROBLEM
WiMAX HAS SIMILAR OPERATION LIKE MOBILE TOWERS

18. DISADVANTAGES PLUS POINT OF WiMAX
THE INITIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND INVESTMENT
PLUS POINT OF WiMAX
MOBILE TOWERS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR TRANSMISSION AS MOBILE AND WiMAX FREQUENCIES DO NOT INTERFERE EACH OTHER

19. OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIA
1.1 BILLION PEOPLE = WORLD’S LARGEST DEMOCRACY
300 MILLION PEOPLE = WORLD’S LARGEST MIDDLE CLASS
BROADBAND AND INTERNET GROWTH A PRIORITY – GOVERNMENT OF INDIA HAS SET MINIMUM GOAL OF 20MILLION BROADBAND SUBSCRIBERS BY 2010

20. E-GOVERNENCE E-SEVA  ANDHRA PRADESH GRAMDOOT  RAJASTHAN GUJARAT
KARNATAKA
MADHYA PRADESH
KERELA
HAVE INITIATED SEVERAL E-GOVERNANCE PROJECTS

21. EDUCATION
DISTANCE LEARNING
ONLINE LIBRARIES
VIDEO CONFERENCE LECTURES IN RURAL AREAS

22. AGRICULTURE & HEALTH
PREVENT CROP DISEASES BY PERIODICALLY SENDING HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES TO AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS
DOCTORS CAN VIDEO CONFERENCE WITH PATIENTS TO DISCUSS SYMPTOMS & TREAT DISEASES

23. VISION 2020 : INDIA DEVELOPED
WiMAX MORE EFFECTIVE ON RURAL INDIA ALONG-WITH THE URBAN
WiMAX FACILITATES E-COMMERCE
WiMAX = HIGH SPEED + WIDE COVERAGE + COST EFFECTIVE

24. DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL INDIA IS ULTIMATELY THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA
VISION 2020 : INDIA DEVELOPED
DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL INDIA IS ULTIMATELY THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA
