SUMMARY
Overview
There are many definitions and understandings of what is wireless broadband
technology. There are those professionals that claim 3G is wireless broadband
and other claim that something called 4G is wireless broadband. The criteria
for wireless broadband technology can be generalized in the form of the
services. The end user ultimately decides with their money what they consider
to be acceptable for their use. Wireless broadband services can be
generalized to mean those services that support a variety of multimedia
content at varying data rates from low speed (less than T1) to as high as
optical data rates. Yes this is a very general description but if nearly 60
years (combined) in this business has taught these authors anything is that
nothing is static and that flexibility in views is important.
The question you need to ask yourself is: "What wireless access technologies
will enable the user to experience a high quality visual and audio experience
that will result in them paying you lots of money". Not a very scientific
definition but money is what it is all about else all of these vendors we are
describing in this book are doing this for free.
This publication represents a compilation of research originally published in
December 2006 from Mind Commerce that addresses the market place, the business
drivers and the competition of the three major broadband wireless technologies
with part one covering WiMax, part two WiFi, and the final section covering 4G
cellular.
