WiMAX Overview

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a standards-based wireless technology that offers high-throughput broadband connections over long distances. WiMAX can be used for a number of applications, including “last mile” broadband connections, fixed and mobile cellular service, hotspots and cellular backhaul, and high-speed enterprise connectivity for business.

The Cisco Connected Grid Modules for CGR 1000 Series—WiMAX module is based on the

IEEE 802.16e standard for mobile wireless.

Cisco Broadband Wireless Access products for Mobile WiMAX feature advanced antenna systems and support adaptive beamforming and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). They allow for multi-megabit service delivery, increased coverage, and greater indoor penetration for the following benefits:

Subscribers experience high-quality wireless services

Service providers get fewer service calls, faster time-to-market with new services, and improved cost efficiencies

This open-standards solution is compliant with the Mobile WiMAX specification and the Profile C Network Reference Model. It includes a full suite of base stations, antenna systems, access service network gateways, management systems, and customer premises equipment.
