Business Case Models forFixed Broadband Wireless Access based on WiMAX Technology and the 802.1

By WiMAX Forum.
Introduction
The term WiMAX1 (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) has become
synonymous with the IEEE 802.16 Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) air
interface standard. In its original release the 802.16 standard addressed applications in
licensed bands in the 10 to 66 GHz frequency range. Subsequent amendments have
extended the 802.16 air interface standard to cover non-line of sight (NLOS) applications
in licensed and unlicensed bands in the sub 11 GHz frequency range. Filling the gap
between Wireless LANs and wide area networks, WiMAX-compliant systems will
provide a cost-effective fixed wireless alternative to conventional wire-line DSL and
cable in areas where those technologies are readily available. And more importantly the
WiMAX technology can provide a cost-effective broadband access solution in areas
beyond the reach of DSL and cable. The ongoing evolution of IEEE 802.16 will expand
the standard to address mobile applications thus enabling broadband access directly to
WiMAX-enabled portable devices ranging from smartphones and PDAs to notebook and
laptop computers. This paper will provide a detailed business case analysis for the
WiMAX technology in fixed wireless applications in the sub 11 GHz frequency range.
Mobile applications based on IEEE 802.16e will be addressed in a future paper.
For fixed wireless applications, two demographic scenarios and two market models are
analyzed, one market model in which the operator only elects to offer services to
residential customers and the second in which both residential and small to medium
business customers are addressed. Many of the business case assumptions used in the
analysis are typical of parameters an operator would experience in most developed
countries where wireless access provides a competitive alternative to DSL, Cable and/or
aggressively-priced leased lines.
