The Airborne WiMax Approach

Airborne completes the wimax mesh puzzle
  • At Airborne, we see WIMAX as a step-change in current business models of cellular infrastructure providers and wireless network operators . It offers the opportunity to focus services more effectively on the needs and aspirations of end customers at significantly reduced cost.
  • Many existing manufacturers have simply added WIMAX offerings to their existing cellular architecture and made amendments to their existing product portfolio. This approach means that the true benefits of WIMAX cannot be realised by operators or their customers.
  • Airborne solutions have been designed to extract the maximum benefit from WIMAX, both in terms of quality of service delivered to customers and cost savings for operators.
  • Our solutions are built with widely available components, in a patented architecture which allows simultaneous WIMAX/Wifi/3G subscriber access and seamless communication between the air interfaces via a common IP platform.
  • This offers existing service providers a smooth, low cost migration to WiMax and offers fast, cost effective deployment of new networks with inexpensive, relatively low-skilled labour.
  • The Airborne solution also offers cost effective, easily deployed and integrated solutions to coverage and capacity issues for existing networks.

Why WiMax

  • WiMax is probably the most disruptive technology to emerge since the mass adoption of mobile telecommunications in the 1990's
  • It enables a flat network structure which is simple and cost effective to deploy and maintain and can be scaled and adapted to meet changing consumer needs.
  • It offers the possibility of a leap in customers' experience which will fundamentally change the way they interact with the internet.
  • As consumer requirements for data increase and become more complex and as Voice over IP offerings threaten fixed line and circuit-switched mobile services, legacy wireless infrastructure designed for voice communications will struggle to cope and will become increasingly expensive and outdated.
  • WiMax offers the best opportunity to bring service levels to the consumer up to a level where wireless can challenge fixed line services
