Wimax Equipments

Wimax Equipments are not well known because there are very limited subscriber demands for Wimax Products and equipments. Most Wimax equipments are installed with Wimax Technology chip which are certified by Wimax forum. Wimax forum is leading the way in support and setting standards in WiMAX technology and its deployment. There are many wimax products and equipments available in market with limitations. The necessary equipments required for Wimax Technology consist of Wimax base stations, Wimax receiver, Wimax antenna, and Wimax backhaul.

 
 

WiMAX Base Station

Wimax base station consists of indoor Wimax equipments and a wimax tower. The common range of Wimax base station is up to 10km radius, while a base station can cover 50km or 30miles but in practice it is 10km and 6 miles only .Any node inside the coverage area would be capable to access the internet.
