From the desired coverage area and demographic information your team has assembled, our design team makes initial choices on the types of radio technologies that best suit the market.

With wire-line technologies such as fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and digital subscriber line (DSL), network capital is expended to reach households in a specific footprint. Each customer receives an individual connection to the network. Capacity planning is relatively straightforward. As long as your subtending network is sufficient, your customer receives the services he is paying for. The access network requires less focus.  In a wireless system, the access network is a shared medium. Our team does detailed capacity planning to understand your capital investment in the planning stages. For this reason, it is important to examine buying characteristics, habits and the concentration of different types of users in your network during the design process.

Coverage is designed to deliver capacity where the users want it.  As the industry evolves from fixed wireless applications to the personal broadband access network of the future, our designers will also help you adapt your WiMAX network to provide services to new types of customers that are moving through your network.  Our team is also keenly aware of opportunities for your network to interoperate with other WiMAX suppliers. Should you choose to do so, this can create opportunities for synergistic revenues like WiMAX roaming in the future.
