Mô tả: The 3.65 GHz frequency band presents an unparalleled opportunity for rural and suburban service providers — what has been referred to as a “land grab” opportunity to capture market territory and broadband customers. The availability of the band, combined with WiMAX™ wireless technology and the ease of registering to use 3.65 GHz, has created all the necessary ingredients for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) to cost effectively replace irst generation legacy equipment or deploy new networks.

 
U.S. WISPs considering the use of WiMAX for 3.65 GHz service beneit from the fact that WiMAX has already been successfully deployed around the world. The “early adopter” phase is over and the technology is proven from a performance and reliability standpoint. In addition, a huge ecosystem has developed that has reduced the cost of WiMAX technology. Beyond this, operators that move quickly also have the beneit of timing, and being irst to market. After all, what is more important than staking claim to frequency rights and securing customers before the competition does? This presents a chance for WISPs to utilize the beneits of today’s state of the art wireless technology, and all the advantages WiMAX offers such as superior quality of service (QoS), enhanced Service Flow management, Adaptive Modulation and network scalability. For existing and new WISPs, the combination of the 3.65 GHz band and WiMAX represents a rare opportunity to serve more customers eficiently and cost effectively.
