NTRA publishes a consultation paper on BWA
|
With the increase in the use of ICTs in Egypt, and as there is an evolution in Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies such as WiMAX and WiFi, there is a growing need for high-speed data.
Thus, the application of WiMAX technology is important, since it overcomes shortcomings of other technologies. The current technologies can deliver either broadband technologies, but fixed, or wireless technologies, that are however, narrowband.
WiMAX will overcome this, as it will provide fixed, nomadic, portable and, eventually, mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the need for direct line-of-sight with a base station.
