WiMAX in Industrial Markets
WiMAX Increasingly Used as Solution for Vertical Markets Smart Grid Rural Broadband High Speed Rail Aviation Oil & Gas Mobile Backhaul
The Choice for the Future of Airport Wireless Communications is WiMAX AeroMACS is the EuroControl / FAA selected wireless solution for the provision of dedicated aeronautical communication services for safety and regularity of flight on the airport surface globally AeroMACS is a C-Band airport surface communications system based on the IEEE 802.16 Mobile WiMAX standard for mobile broadband data
WiMAX Opportunity The Aviation community chose WiMAX as the next generation terrestrial wireless communications technology. The FAA and EUROCONTROL are taking the lead but this will be implemented across the globe The three main user groups are: Air Traffic Control Airlines Airport Management & Operations 700+ major airports in the US and Europe will deploy first Estimated Market Size: 10+ base stations per airport 15,000 commercial aircraft actively servicing the US alone 1,000+ mobile stations per airport
WiMAX Provides Backhaul and Endpoint Connectivity for Smart Cities $8.1 Billion was spent on Smart City technologies in 2010 By 2016, $39.5 Billion will be spent annually
Case Study: City of Houston, Texas WiMAX remote control of over 2,500 traffic intersections and 1,500 school zone flashers WiMAX connectivity at over 500 city facilities WiMAX remote monitoring of 150,000 city water meters WiMAX connectivity to public schools WiMAX connectivity to over 300,000 residents in underpriviledged and underserved communities
WiMAX Provides High Speed Connectivity to Oil & Gas Giants Chevron Exxon Marathon Petrobras Kuwait Oil Company Chesapeake Energy Schlumberger More
SMART GRID Smart Grid Offers Unparalleled New Revenue Opportunities WiMAX is the Optimal BWA Technology for Smart Grid
WiMAX Opportunity Utility companies must become MUCH more efficient in Transmission, Distribution and Management Rise of Smart Machines and M2M communication = utility companies need more robust and secure data networks 4G-enabled Grids create these efficiencies Utilities understand the advantages that a secure, private network that they own and operate has over the traditional commercial (public) networks available today
WiMAX Applications Distribution Automation & Management Mobile Workforce Management Vehicle & Asset tracking Smart Meter Data Aggregation/Collection Demand Response Redundancy Security and Surveillance Remote Site Communications, Monitoring & Equipment Control
Case Studies KEPCO, Japan 7M Meters over 10 year build spausnet, Australia 800K Meters Centerpoint Energy, USA 2.5M Meters backhauled via WiMAX Network Several Brazilian Utilities (AES, CEMIG, CPFL, EDP)
