solutions that provide high-speed broadband access use wired access technologies,
such as traditional cable, digital subscriber line, Ethernet, and
fiber optic. It is extremely difficult and expensive for carriers to build and
maintain wired networks, especially in rural and remote areas. Carriers are
unwilling to install the necessary equipment in these areas because of little
profit and potential. WiMAX will revolutionize broadband communications
in the developed world and bridge the digital divide in developing countries.
Affordable wireless broadband access for all is very important for a
knowledge-based economy and society.WiMAXwill provide affordable wireless
broadband access for all, improving quality of life thereby leading to
economic empowerment.
