What is WiMAX fixed wireless?

Hello curious readers and friends,

I appreciate you stopping in, be sure to take a look at my personal website at Airband: http://www.airband.com/knapp.html. I currently represent Airband Communications, Inc. in the Southern CA region.

The following informative post simply lays out wide area network access solutions Airband Communication, Inc offers today and how they are basically being deployed across the country. This post is laid out in a simple Q&A format. Please enjoy.

We are discussing the following technology in this post:
















Q:What type of network services do you provide?

A: As a general practice Airband deploys three flavors of product:

1. Point-to-Multipoint: this fixed internet service is deployed within a 3 to 5 mile radius of a base station or Class A structure serviced via Airband's network. An AP (Access Point) provides signaling (radio frequency in specific ranges or spectrum access) to SU's or service units. These radios connect to the internet over a wireless last mile technology we call WiMAX Fixed Wireless Ethernet (Airband Communications, Inc. www.airband.com) via fixed wireless to a customer premise (generally another class A structure, warehouse, building, office complex etc...)


EXAMPLE of SU installation:
















2. Point-to-Point: These dedicated customer links can extend our network out 20 to 30 miles from a Base Station or service point on our network out to a remote customer premise. These links tend to be for larger increments of bandwidth from 20Mbps to 1000Mbps (GigE). Our customers generally use these links to provide internet access to a remote building or provide diverse path or redundant internet access to strategic locations within their infrastructure.

EXAMPLE of a 50 to 150Mbps Radio:














3. Off Net Point-to-Point: These connections are monitored 24/7/365 and are deployed to connect to remote sites (sites that are 1 mile to 30 or more miles apart). These connections by definition do not touch internet services (Off Net) and they are used to connect remote buildings to a main campus or simply provide a wireless Ethernet connection between sites on a campus environment. They can also be used for large wireless back haul links.

EXAMPLE of Multiple Radio installations including:














Q: Do How you connect to WiMAX fixed wireless?

A: As a general rule we install a single Ethernet connection with each network connection we deploy. This Ethernet hand off is the easiest to integrate into standard network infrastructure and this type of connection can be managed by the simplest of routers or more advanced networking equipment. So it is very easy to integrate WiMAX fixed services into existing WAN/LAN infrastructure.

WiMAX is BLOWING UP!!!!!

It's official from Wall Street to Main Street USA, WiMAX is getting tremendous financial support and interest across the country.

Working inside one of US' fastest growing fixed wireless ISP's it is an amazing opportunity to witness first hand. Since 1994 I have not felt more anticipatory anxiety. Like a child on Christmas Eve I find sometimes I can't sleep at night.

I have witnessed first hand customer interest in the field... Our customers are tired of waiting for installs and paying high cost for local loops. They are hungry for a competitive solution that scales quickly, deploys quickly and provides stable IP services to support mission critical applications.

There is nothing more exciting or invigorating as witnessing the birth of a white hot product/service. Today a handful or organizations are leading the way into untapped and unknown territory. As network coverage expands and true fully meshed 802.16 networks emerge to integrate local and long haul WAN connections corporate America will finally understand the power of network flexibility without timing and capitalization constraints of years past.

I encourage organizations researching or planning WiMAX deployments to contact me to find out about how our company is reshaping the national landscape of WiMAX deployment. We are leading the pack and driving rapidly to market the best nationwide network in existence.

Keep an eye on this blog and on our industry and you will see what I am talking about.

An example of how WiMAX breaks traditional telco services and redefines P&L within IT. For Q1 2008 we are offering 5Mbps of synchronous data access for just $900. It's called the bonded T-1 Buster! Email, I/M or call me if you would like details on our coverage area nationwide. We would love to welcome you to WiMAX.

$999 for 5 stations of Voice Over IP hosted services!

For just $999 you can have five hosted Voice over IP stations offering the most robust feature set available on the market today. The feature set will blow you away. This service integrates with your computers or laptops so you don't even have to dial the phone manually anymore. Simply click to call!

This service is perfect for small expanding businesses or businesses that grow seasonally. We can scale to any size and manage thousands of customers today.

This system also is delivered with an Internet T-1 so your data and voice are bundled on one line. No more separate voice and Internet bill.

Call us today to verify we can service your business needs. We also offer fixed wireless Internet services from 2Mbps to GigE speed.

Note: there is an additional cost for handsets but Cisco and Polycom handsets are supported if you already own them.
