LTE Vs. WIMAX Comparision

Overview
Over the last few years, there has been increasing demands for accessing the Internet over the mobile devices. To address this, the wireless telecommunication industry has been striving hard to define a new air interface for mobile communications to provide a framework for high mobility broadband services and increase the overall system capacity; reducing latency; and improving spectral efficiency and cell-edge performance.

Introduction
The communication industry has been formulating new standards to efficiently deliver high speed broadband mobile access in a single air interface and network architecture at low cost to operators and end users. Two standards, IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) and 3GPP LTE are leading the pack towards forming the next-generation of mobile network standards. More Details...

"WIMAX" The Future Of Wireless Communication

Abstract
The new era of communication, currently employed in some parts of the world, is Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX). It is the latest technology which is approved by IEEE 802.16 group, which is a standard for point-to-multipoint wireless networking. Wimax vision is to deliver "last mile" broadband connectivity to home or business locations, also its data rates are comparable with Cable and Digital Subscriber line (DSL) rates. It has the capability whichconnects to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) even when you are roaming outside home or office. The Wimax technology is becoming the way to avert the impending crisis of rural connectivity i.e. it will be accessible till the last mile. This paper explains about the purpose of Wimax, the study of Wimax systems, its implications and applications and its wireless capabilities.

Introduction - The Road of WiMax
Imagine a technology that can reach even into he remote areas or the suburbs where the access to power plants is even difficult. This innovation technology will provide transfer rates of multiple Megabits to the users within a range of several kilometers. As we know the demand for wireless has raised rapidly from 5.7 million in 2002 to 200 million in 2006. The global Wimax market is growing at the rate of 30% per year and is expected to touch $2.8 billion by 2009 from the present $ 600 million. The number of Wimax users is forecasted to each 14.9 million in 2009. Wimax based solutions are more flexible and secured. They provide an outstanding service and are very much cost effective. Topologies of urban and suburban areas can be controlled by this technology. Wimax technology is 30 times faster than the third generation and 100 times faster than the wireless data rates.

Research on Telecom Investment

Abstract
It is widely known that the telecom industry is the hub of innovation starting from the early days of Bell Labs, and that these companies garner a substantial number of patents every year. However, there is little in terms of research on the effect of patents on the revenues and stock prices of respective telecom companies. This paper investigates the effect of patents (granted) on the sales revenues and stock prices of the top three telecom companies in the US.
