    WIRELESS FIDELITY (Wi-Fi) BROADBAND NETWORK TECHNOLOGY: AN OVERVIEW WITH OTHER BROADBAND WIRELESS NETWORKS by Chris A. Nwabueze, M. Eng., MNSE, MNIEEE, MIEE. Silas A. Akaneme, M. Eng., MNSE, MNIEEE, MIEEE Dept. of Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Anambra State University, Uli. E-mail: [email protected]. ABSTRACT Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) broadband network technology has made tremendous impact in the growth of broadband wireless networks. There exists today several Wi-Fi access points that allow employees, partners and customers to access corporate data from almost anywhere and anytime. Wireless broadband networks are expected to grow in terms of broadband speed and coverage, while Wi-Fi can be integrated with WiMAX networks to provide Internet connectivity to mobile Wi-Fi users. This paper explores the Wi-Fi broadband wireless network technology, its uses, advantages and disadvantages, comparison with other broadband wireless networks and integration with WiMAX network.

No.: Q020/Q060 Project No.: 0900610F-01 s Center for Telecommunications and Advanced Technology McLean, Virginia ABSTRACT This paper introduces some of the newer broadband wireless communications alternatives and describes how they could be used to provide high-speed connections between fixed, transportable, and mobile facilities. We also describe the new integrated service technologies – devices used to bundle voice, data, and video services for transmission over a single link. In this case, it’s a broadband wireless link. Together, the new broadband wireless and integrated service technologies can be used to provide efficient, cost effective, and flexible multi-service provisioning. We introduce this concept and discuss its potential for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Suggested Keywords: broadband, wireless, integrated service platform, multi-service access device (MSAD), integrated access device (IAD), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) i ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to thank Mr. Louis Ruffino and Mr. Carl Kain for their technical and editorial contributions to this effort. iii iv TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION PAGE 1.

  • Home Networking: Connectivity in the Last 100 Yards
    SPLT004 – August 2001 White Paper Home Networking: Connectivity in the last—100 Yards Remi El-Ouazzane, Business and Marketing Manager Matt Kurtz, Product Marketing Manager Once the primary domain of businesses and other large organizations, broadband technology is now fundamentally and rapidly changing the way consumers utilize home computers. Technologies such as T1, frame relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) have long enhanced the business user’s Internet experience by enabling fast web downloads and rich interactive services made possible by high-throughput data connections. Now, high-speed technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable modems are quickly making the broadband experience a pervasive reality in the home as well. The broadband market is experiencing explosive growth, as home users have come to expect the same lightning-fast download times and interactive content they enjoy at their place of work. From a total subscriber base of 3.8 million in 1999, for all broadband technologies combined, industry analyst In-Stat predicts a dramatic growth curve for this sector. The firm predicts broadband subscribers will increase from 21.5 million in 2001 to 35 million in 2002. By 2005, In-Stat forecasts there will be nearly 84 million broadband users worldwide. Clearly, a remarkably enhanced user experience is quickly making broadband a must-have service for home users. Fast Internet access is currently the overwhelming motivation for new subscribers. Other existing and new applications that drive the need for high-bandwidth connections will also speed the rapid growth of broadband technologies. Some of these include streaming media, video conferencing, IP telephony, e-commerce, webcasting and multi- player gaming.
