WiMAX Broadband Applications

Broadband communication service is the transfer of digital audio (voice), data, and/or video communications at rates greater than wideband communications rates (above 1 Mbps). Broadband connections allow for the providing of multiple services such as telephone (voice), data, and video on one network.

WiMAX VoIP

Digital telephony is a communication system that uses digital data to represent and transfer analog signals. These analog signals can be audio signals (acoustic sounds) or complex modem signals that represent other forms of information.

WiMAX systems can provide telephone services through the use of IP Telephony (voice over Internet protocol – VoIP). These IP networks initiate, process, and receive voice or digital telephone communications using IP protocol. WiMAX systems can provide digital telephone service through the use of analog telephone adapters (ATAs) or IP telephones. ATAs convert IP signals into standard telephone (dial tone) formats.
