I have been a fan of wimax technology ever since I found out about it about a year ago and have always been looking farward to get a wimax connection.I have been in India for the last six months and the only reason I some times miss UK is the 10mbps cable internet connection I have there, Now that I have hopes of soon getting a wimax connection here in Newdelhi which hopefully will be more then atleast 2mbps or may be upto 75mbps as some companies plan.
Bsnl has been running wimax trials across the country at ten different locations which they say have been very succesful and plan to roll out commercial wimax connections some time later this year with prices at par with thier adsl offerings.
For NewDelhi wimax would be an ideal solution as 80% of Delhi is so unorganised that no other mode of internet connectivity can beat the ease of wimax which doesnt need any wires.The population density also makes it more lucrative for wimax deployment as very few towers will be able to cover the whole of Delhi and the cost of infrastructure per connection will go down considerably which will hopefully be passed on to the consumer.
In the next article I will write about details of wimax technology and how it works including details about the equipment used to deliver and recieve data.
I am eagerly waiting for wimax, are you? If you have any comments please feel free to share with all of us.
There are lies, “damn lies” and “vendor promises” - Don’t get too excited about WiMAX. It ain’t gonna happen on a commercial scale for at least a couple more years. Standards are in a flux, equipment certification has been delayed .. don’t even get me started.
