The need for connections, especially the Internet, which today has become even more secondary purposes in large cities, of course requires a good connection system, quickly and economically in order to utilize this facility will comfortably.
Two advances in today's Internet is a broadband (fast access) and wireless. WiMax standard combines these two things, provides high-speed Internet access via wireless connections. Because WiMAX can be accessed from a relatively far distance, this standard is
solution "recent" is effective for providing quick access to home users, and to create a hotspot-ho spots in places such as airports, campuses, and other small communities.
Based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, WiMAX uses architectural point-to-multipoint, which makes it an ideal way to provide quick access to the locations where cable-based connections will be very difficult and costly. WiMAX can also be a solution to provide fast access to suburban areas,
where high speed lines are not yet available. Compatibility is that WiMAX connections can be combined or transferred to LAN network or other wireless-based cable.



Analysis of Existing Problems and Solutions
If we talk about internet access at the present time, there are basically three options available, including:
1. Broadband access (high speed) - At home, we can use a DSL or cable modem. Or if we're in office, the company where we work can
using a T1 or T3 lines.
2. WiFi Access-At home, we can build a WiFi router that allows us to surf the web using a laptop. And on the way, we can find WiFi hot spots at various
restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, libraries, and so forth.
3. Dial-Up Access - Internet Access on this one are rarely used. Even if used, the likelihood is that if broadband access is not available, or if you assume that broadband access is too expensive.

The main problems that exist in the broadband access is
that the connection is very expensive and can not reach all areas. While the WiFi technology, hot-spot coverage is relatively very small, so coverage is very minimal.
Worse yet, access dial-up connection speeds are relatively small (maximum of 56 kbps) and the access costs are relatively more expensive compared to the two technologies mentioned above. From the formulation of the problems mentioned above, new technologies should ideally have the following features:
Form a high-speed broadband services wirelessly, so it will be cheaper than cable or DSL based technology and is easier to extend coverage to areas periphery and / or interior of a broad range as well as cellular phone networks, unlike WiFi hot spots are very limited scope.
WiMAX was formed to complement the existing shortcomings in Bluetooth and WiFi technology. In this case, WiMAX solutions provide an easy and relatively cheap. Although it is a wireless technology, unlike other wireless technologies, WiMAX has advantages such as access to mobile phone users, where WiMAX does not require distance
Direct view (line of sight) between the transmitter and receiver, and reach up to 50 kilometers (compared to WiFi which is only 30m). The speed of the data provided could reach 70Mbps (higher than 54Mbps WiFi only), which is sufficient to serve thousands of homes with high-speed access. On the other hand, WiMAX will also be very easy to configure and use - turn on the hardware you'll automatically from your mengoneksikan
WiMAX transmitters are available nearby.
