WiMax
WiMAX Products available from SIAE UK
SIAE UK has a history of wireless service provision in the UK which goes back to 1993. This, together with the experience of more than 50 years in the wireless business from our parent company SIAE MICROELETTRONICA S.P.A. and their global purchasing power, provides our company with an unrivalled capability in the provision of a complete network Design, Build and Support to our customers.
SIAE UK works with our customers at the earliest point in the process - assisting in the requirements capture process, and utilising our skill and experience to assist identify, scope and price the options available. In this endeavour, the company has been extremely successful and is now noted not only for its innovative microwave products, but also for its ability to operate at a higher level in the creation of value-adding solutions focused on the delivery of customer benefits.
In this latter role, SIAE UK now has dozens of completed Wide Area Networks to its credit, typically delivered through our key partners in their primary roles as Telecommunications companies and Systems Integrators.
A significant element of the attraction in partnering with our company lies in our capability to provide the complete physical network solution comprising all three classical hierarchies of Trunk Backbone, Distribution and finally into the Last Mile Access layer.
The Last Mile Access layer has seen rapid innovation and the introduction of many new compelling products (many with short product lifetimes).
Customers now appreciate that if they are to avoid falling into some fo the many traps involved in the wrong selection, they need expert assistance from companies such as ourselves who have taken the time, and invested the effort in separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to identifying detail solutions.
In fact most of our customers now apprecite that 'SMART' Procurement necessitates the need to procure services rather than products, and to specify Service Levels backed up by commercial penalties rather than specifying technical product detail. In this manner, customers can access the many benefits of wireless solutions, safe in the knowledge that they will actually lock in the benefits needed by their business.
One of the many recent product innovations has been the emergence of WiMax. Our company has been pro-active on this technology (as with many others) in terms of an involvement at protocol development and committee stages, as well as laterally in setting up global agreements with those manufacturers which meet our needs in terms of technical product innovation, long term commitment and cost-effective commercials.
Design Hierarchies
WiMax solutions are highly applicable to the implementation of modern converged networks which are required to deliver advanced services of broadband data, voice and video to guaranteed levels of Quality of Service.
Particularly appropriate to deployments of the Last Mile network layer, WiMax solutions allow higher bandwidths to be delivered to multiple locations whilst offering advanced levels of application segmentation and control to their Operators.
The diagram above shows the WiMax Base Station as the key component linking the Network Trunk Backbone and Distribution layers to the Clients in a Point-To-Multipoint mode.
Commercially, costs of operation are lower than obtainable from single P2P connections (in an urban scenario at least) but increased from the use of unlicensed or lightly licensed wireless solutions. However the benefits obtainable here, such as operation in fully licensed bands, higher bandwidth throughput and richer set of QoS features help to differentiate the product and provide it's niche application.
Applicability
WiMax Solutions have a niche applicability which will be of particular interest to those System Integrators, Telecommunications companies, and Service Providers seeking to deliver cost-effective levels of service to multiple end users over a specified geographical area.
Therefore typical end users might be the Consumer, the Public sector, or larger Enterprise customer.
SIAE UK has available the skill and expertise to put together complete packaged Turnkey solutions involving WiMax products. We recommend that you contact us at the earliest opportunity if you are considering the implementation of any type of infrastructure, whether WiMax specific or not, so that we can assist you in the identification of cost-effective options to meet the needs of your business.
