Wimax RF planing
Background
WrLS (pronounce WireLesS) was an Wireless Infrastructure Service Provider (WiSP) with the philosophy of the "Freedom of Wires to reach a Wire" in order to complement the fixed telecom network in the white zone areas where fixed technologies (xDSL, COAX) could not connect or neither offer a descent Internet connectivity to the citizen or enterprise.
It was a spinoff of MAC Telecom & Clearwire Belgium, in order to take over the deployment and operation of the WiMAX networks infrastructures across the Belgian territory.
The first coverage's where installed in the business park AxisParc in the city of Mont-Saint-Guibert with the Pre WiMAX mesh technology of Strix Networks.
The company Engineer was certified by the Wimax Forum under reference #WFRE474 and deployed the network on the 3.5 and 10 Ghz frequency bands.
The company was also intending to deploy the technology in Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as in Tanzania.
Technology
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a family of wireless broadband communication standards based on the IEEE 802.16 set of standards, which provide multiple physical layer (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) options.
The name "WiMAX" was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard, including the definition of predefined system profiles for commercial vendors.
The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL".
IEEE 802.16m or WirelessMAN-Advanced was a candidate for the 4G, in competition with the LTE Advanced standard.
