The role of WiMAX technology on broadband access networks: economic model
| Resumo: | The increasing demand of quadruple-play services, including video, voice, data and mobility, has created new challenges to the modern broadband wireless/wired access networks (Pereira & Ferreira, 2009). Moreover, with the proliferation of broadband applications, the need for comprehensive broadband infrastructure becomes critical (Fong & Nour, 2004). Broadband in the OECD is still dominated by DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) but there is na obvious trend emerging to upgrade last-mile access networks to support the new services requirements (OECD, 2008). To address these network requirements, many carriers in emerging markets will have to move from legacy platforms toward next-generation solutions with a combination of wireless and wireline technologies, such as worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), IP-Ethernet, new forms of DSL technology and fiber. |
