Target Audience, Prerequisites, and Brief Description
This one day e-learning course (pre-recorded webinar) is aimed at technical audience involved in the design and deployment of WiMAX networks, equipment, or software. Entities pursuing grant money under the Stimulus Act will find this course especially helpful.
You will learn, at a high level, what WiMAX is and does within the framework of the “the 3 A’s: Access, Applications, Affordability”. In “access”, you will gain an understanding of the performance parameters of WiMAX and why WiMAX is not Wi-Fi. We will address the major objections to WiMAX including the issues of security, Quality of Service (QoS), and interference mitigation. Once you understand why WiMAX is a viable alternative to the wireline technologies, we will discuss the “applications” where WiMAX is a cost-effective alternative to traditional telco technologies (DSL and T1). Finally, we will take a look at the “affordability” of WiMAX vis-à-vis existing telecommunications options and where the adoption of WiMAX can save money in the near term.
