The 802.16e standard allows a base-station to communicate with a moving device.The two versions of WiMax are not compatible, but both are expected to be ultimately implemented in dual-mode base-stations, allowing a single antenna to talk to transceivers mounted on the side of buildings and to devices carried by cars, trains and pedestrians.<\/P><P>By the end of 2005, 802.16-2004 and 802.16e should have been merged into a single IEEE document, 802.16e-2005.<\/P><P>The ratified version of 802.16e represents the twelfth draft of the specification developed by the IEEE Task Group preparing the standard. Work originally began in 2002 with a forecast completion timeframe of 18 months. In the end, the process more than twice that.<\/P><P>The ratification of the standard, to be followed by its publication, paves the way for the development official mobile WiMax products. To date, a number of 802.16e-based base-station and client-side systems have come to market, all supporting potentially incompatible draft versions of the specification.<\/P><P>Earlier this month, the IEEE approved the 802.16f amendment to 802.16-2004. The specification adds network management information features to the fixed wireless standard<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IEEE this week formally ratified the mobile version of the WiMax wireless broadband system as a standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-archive","category-hardware","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
