ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

To acknowledge all the persons who have helped me for the fulfilment of the project is not possible for any trainee. But in spite of all that, it becomes the foremost responsibility of the trainee and also the part of training ethics to acknowledge those who had played a pivotal role via making significant contributions in making the project a SUCCESS!!! So, in the same sequence at very first, I would like to confer the flower of acknowledgement on our batch head Mr. Nikunj Goel (SDE,WLL) and Mr.Praveen

Shukla (JTO,WLL) who taught me how to do project through appropriate tools and
techniques. Advanced level telecom training institute(ALTTC) has shown trust towards me and provided me an opportunity to undertake a project study during my training. I, hereby, would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to Dr..R.P.S Tomar

(Divisional Engineer (Business Develoment)) and the entire fraternity of ALTTC, GZB.

ABOUT COMPANY

Advanced Level Telecom Training Centre (ALTTC), Ghaziabad is the apex training institute of BSNL. An ISO 9001: 2008 accredited institute, ALTTC was set up as a joint venture of International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, UNDP and the Government of India in 1975. ALTTC functions on the frontiers of telecom technology, finance and management and imparts training to the leaders in the business. The strength of ALTTC lies in the state of art labs, massive infrastructure and trained, talented and qualified human resource pool.

The Centre's Mission statement is "To Deliver Excellence Through Training"

The training areas cover vast spectrum of topics such as Digital Switching and IN, Mobile Communication: GSM, 3G CDMA Data communication: Broadband and Networking, Optical Networks: SDH, DWDM, NGN, Access Networks, Management, Telecom Finance, Information Technology, Building Science (Civil and Electrical) and Telecom Network Planning.

INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT

Have you ever wanted to lounge on a beach chair at a fancy resort and surf the Internet? Connect and get your email in a coffee shop such as Starbucks, or one inside a Borders bookstore? Put together some computers in your home so that they can share files or access to the Internet without drilling holes or snaking snarled wires from one computer to another?

Thats the world of WIRELESS..

It has transformed our world into one free from wire mesh. Its a revolution which has transformed the myth of wireless world into a reality. No longer are we dependent on pieces of wires for getting connected to outside world. Now you can get high speed data connection where ever and whenever you want it to be just on a click of a button. Thats whats called WiFi. And to take it a step further there is WiMax.

What is WiMAX?
WiMAX is an acronym that stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, a certification mark for products that pass conformity and interoperability tests for the IEEE 802.16 standards.

Products that pass the conformity tests for WiMAX are capable of forming wireless connections between them to permit the carrying of internet packet data. It is similar to WiFi in concept, but has certain improvements that are aimed at improving performance and should permit usage over much greater distances. IEEE 802.16 is working group number 16 of IEEE 802, specializing in point-tomultipoint broadband wireless access

How WiMAX Works?

In practical terms, WiMAX would operate similar to WiFi but at higher speeds, over greater distances and for a greater number of users. WiMAX could potentially erase the suburban and rural blackout areas that currently have no broadband Internet access because phone and cable companies have not yet run the necessary wires to those remote locations. A WiMAX system consists of two parts:

A WiMAX tower, similar in concept to a cell-phone tower - A single WiMAX tower can provide coverage to a very large area -- as big as 3,000 square miles (~8,000 square km).

A WiMAX receiver - The receiver and antenna could be a small box or PCMCIA card, or they could be built into a laptop the way WiFi access is today.

A WiMAX tower station can connect directly to the Internet using a highbandwidth, wired connection (for example, a T3 line). It can also connect to another WiMAX tower using a line-of-sight, microwave link. This connection to a second tower (often referred to as a backhaul), along with the ability of a single tower to cover up to 3,000 square miles, is what allows WiMAX to provide coverage to remote rural areas

What this points out is that WiMAX actually can provide two forms of wireless service:

There is the non-line-of-sight, WiFi sort of service, where a small antenna on your computer connects to the tower. In this mode, WiMAX uses a lower frequency range -- 2 GHz to 11 GHz (similar to WiFi). Lower-wavelength transmissions are not as easily disrupted by physical obstructions -- they are better able to diffract, or bend, around obstacles.

There is line-of-sight service, where a fixed dish antenna points straight at the WiMAX tower from a rooftop or pole. The line-of-sight connection is stronger and more stable, so it's able to send a lot of data with fewer errors. Line-of-sight transmissions use higher frequencies, with ranges reaching a possible 66 GHz. At higher frequencies, there is less interference and lots more bandwidth.

WiFi-style access will be limited to a 4-to-6 mile radius (perhaps 25 square miles or 65 square km of coverage, which is similar in range to a cell-phone zone). Through the stronger line-of-sight antennas, the WiMAX transmitting station would send data to WiMAX-enabled computers or routers set up within the transmitter's 30mile radius (2,800 square miles or 9,300 square km of coverage). This is what allows WiMAX to achieve its maximum range.

COMPARISION OF WiMax WITH OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

WiMAX Market Overview

Market Momentum spurred by Intels backing and large companies on the WiMAX forum

Major Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) Vendors committed to implementing 802.16-2004 and 802.16e in their product roadmaps

Major Base station vendors have also joined the WiMAX forum

Large telecommunications carriers, worldwide assessing WiMAX technology for trials and implementation in the markets they serve

WiMAX will face competition from DSL, cable modems and traditional T1 lines on the fixed access side in later implementations and 802.20 on the wireless mobility side

PROSPECTS FOR WiMax

WiMAX Subscribers
Huge growth potential for wireless Internet users

WiMAX Penetration Rate

Huge growth potential for Wimax Subscribers

CONCLUSION
The latest developments in the IEEE 802.16 group are driving a broadband wireless access revolution thanks to a standard with unique technical characteristics. In parallel, the WiMAX forum, backed by industry leaders, helps the widespread adoption of broadband wireless access by establishing a brand for the technology. Initially, WiMAX will bridge the digital divide and thanks to competitive equipment prices, the scope of WiMAX deployment will broaden to cover markets where the low POTS penetration, high DSL unbundling costs, or poor copper quality have acted as a brake on extensive high-speed Internet and voice over broadband. WiMAX will reach its peak by making Portable Internet a reality. When WiMAX chipsets are integrated into laptops and other portable devices, it will provide highspeed data services on the move, extending today's Limited coverage of public WLAN to metropolitan areas. Integrated into new generation networks with seamless roaming between various accesses, it will enable end-users to enjoy an "Always Best Connected" experience. The combination of these capabilities makes WiMAX attractive for a wide diversity of people: fixed operators, mobile operators and wireless ISPs, but also for many vertical markets and local authorities.
