WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access- IEEE 802.16) is a standards-based wireless MAN technology (an implementation of 802.16: 802.16-2004 and 802.16e) that provides high-throughput broadband connections. WiMAX can be used for a number of applications, including "last mile" broadband connections, hotspot and cellular backhaul, and high-speed enterprise connectivity for businesses.
Industry analysts believe the WiMAX Market will be worth anywhere from $3 billion to $5 billion by 2009. (Source: Intel)
This 1-day course provides an introduction to WiMaxapplications, technologies and standards.
After a general introduction to wireless networks, this overview course moves quickly into the WiMax (802.16-2004, 802.16e) foundations, protocols, protocols, QoS security and mobility. Real-world examples through case studies, vendor products, and implementation tips are discussed.

Excellent course! Excellent Instructor! I was very satisfied with the quality of the class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and flexible. He tried to satisfy all the attendees.
Petr Foltyn, Damovo WiMAX Fundamentals
The course was technically excellent. The instructor worked well at modifying the contents.
Jonatan Segev, Comsys WiMAX Fundamentals
In overall, I rate this course "Excellent". The instructor was putting a lot of effort to satisfy us all. Very good lecturer.
Yuval Dorfan, Comsys WiMAX Fundamentals
This is a second course that I am taking with this company and I am very satisfied. Again the material are very well balanced and after finishing this class I know that I have learned a lot. The instructor knew all the materials and he delivered them very well. I recommend this course to every one. Jeremy Jones, Digicel, Eastern Caribbean WiMAX Fundamentals
This is an excellent course. The instructor knows the material very well and he communicates with class very well. The group sessions were very useful, this exercise gave us an opportunity to do a case study that gave a feel for all aspects that should be considered from the planning to implementation stage of a WIMAX network. I strongly suggest this class to every one. Ron Howell, Digicel, Jamaica WiMAX Fundamentals
The instructor who teaches this course knows all the material and he communicates with every one in class and makes sure that every one is learning the lessons. We (students) openly exchanged our ideas in the class and the instructor helped us to develop and learn from each other's ideas. I strongly recommend this class to those who need it. Gilbert Morle, Digicel, Jamaica WiMAX Fundamentals
I am glad that I took this class, learned a lot from a very knowledgeable instructor. I recommend this class to others. Emile Van, Digicel, Jamaica WiMAX Fundamentals
Very knowledgeable instructor and an excellent course. I recommend this course to all. Oneal Campbell, Digicel, Jamaica WiMAX Fundamentals
Excellent course! Excellent Instructor! I was very satisfied with the quality of the class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and flexible. He tried to satisfy all the attendees.
