Fixed broadband wireless network steals some of 3G services

date: May 11, 2001

World Wide Wireless Communications (WWWC) announces broadband fixed wireless systems with speed of up to 2MB using Multiple Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS). This system is capable of delivering 1MB burst-able bandwidth to the last mile for fraction of the cost and time that 3G service would require. And the deployment range between each basestations can be up to 35 miles radius depending on geography.

One of the most critical aspects enables carriers to bypass the local incumbent and "own" the last mile, making deployment massively cheaper than 3G mobile phone networks.

The transmission speeds will depend on the customers. They can pay for port speeds of 64k, 128k, 256k, 512k, 1MB, & 2MB.

The system uses rooftop antennae to transmit data, audio and video content over the airwaves.

Billions of pound has been spent on 3G mobile-phone licenses and the massive cost of rolling out the service means 3G deployment will be delayed. MMDS could be the choice for video and data-heavy services over wireless LAN and as an alternative for geographicaly challenged areas where cable and fiber is difficult to reach.

According to WWWC, the system takes a mere 3-4 months to build. This is good news for bandwidth needy customers and content providers, as it presents cheaper wireless network solution without the need for a wired infrastructure.

Users of WWWC need to be within a range of 35 miles radius of a base station, but this is not a serious problem as what will be the need for mobile customers to receive data-intensive services while they are on the move. And with range of up to 35 miles radius, it is more than enough for most urban cities.

M-Profits: Making Money from 3G Services
ISBN: 0470847751

This book discusses 3G services from the view of what is needed for the service to provide value to the user, what is the value proposition for the user, how will money be made out of delivering the service, and discussions on how revenue sharing propositions might work to benefit content providers and network operators. 3G operators should take note of this highly recommended book.
