Analysis shows that WiMAX, with just 10 VoIP calls, full buffer throughput PAGE is 19 dramatically impacted 19
Mobile WiMAX Performance Assessment Mobile WiMAX overstates performance by 2x to 3x The 2 to 4Mbps downlink claim requires 10MHz of spectrum and is likely to deliver the same speeds as DO Rev A or FLASH-OFDM but only by using 4x more spectrum WiMAX cell coverage at 2.5GHz is 50% less than marketing claims Requires more cell sites to cover the claimed coverage areas Direct impact on CapEx and OpEx WiMAX latency is higher than claimed Mobile WiMAX cannot effectively support more than 10 VoIP subscribers per without using the majority of the available capacity CDMA DO Rev A and FLASH-OFDM have a 4x advantage at 25 VoIP users VoIP is only for fixed deployment (Aug 17 research note) WiMAX for commercial mobile networks is untested and in the early stages of wireless evolution for mobility Early tests in South Korea shows average DL rates well below 1Mbps Low battery life and high cost for PC cards ($230) The net analysis shows that WiMAX will deliver the same subscriber throughput as DO Rev 0 today, but by using 4x more spectrum and PAGE 20 with less than 50% of the DO coverage 20
Conclusions Ongoing 3G evolution ensures a long term competitive advantage for 3G operators by enabling ubiquitous mobile broadband service with massive economics of scale 802.20 / Rev C can complement 3G as a compelling overlay to address hot-zone and dense WMAN areas using large spectrum allocations and supports tight integration with 3G operators Large technical advantages in coverage and capacity on 802.20 / Rev C solution, with far more cost effective than Mobile WiMAX solution in all scenarios PAGE 21 21
