WiMAX appears to be an interesting alternative to broadband connections, as it has registered positive results in different parts of the globe. In this case we will learn some important facts about its use in Latin America and the United States.

In the case of the South American continent, WiMAX networks have allowed an increase in broadband connections in different countries. This is because an alternative that leads to a large number of users, taking into account the lower installation cost and time involved, when compared with other technologies.

In South America, the percentage of population with broadband connections is at around 15%. However, there are nations that have lower penetration, for example, Brazil has only 3%. Even in the country with the strongest economy in South America 40% of urban centers do not have the necessary infrastructure for broadband connections.

According to suggest the main drivers of this alternative, WiMAX can make a big opportunity for broader dissemination of broadband connections, thus accessing more of the population in digital television, IP telephony and many other possibilities that open up speed network connections.

Apparently, the leader in the development of this technology in Latin America estimated over a million WiMAX broadband connections in subsequent years. One company that is addressing this challenge is Alvarion, which specializes in the deployment of networks under this technology.

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela are among the countries in which the increase in WiMAX options can be seen in more concrete form. In them, networks of this kind are commonplace, when even some time constituted an insignificant percentage of the market.

In the U.S., mobile WiMAX

Logically, the United States needs in terms of broadband connections are totally different compared to those recorded in Latin America. Given this, the WiMAX deployments in North America aimed at leveraging the connectivity of movable type.

Thus, the signature DigitalBridge Communications will start providing mobile Internet services in the town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, through the use of WiMAX networks. Thus, in this city and its hinterland can be accessed without limitation wireless connections lead to lower costs.

The infrastructure for the development of this network, which allows the establishment of broadband connections to access voice, data and video in motion at any point in the catchment area, was developed by Alvarion. However, this is an open network, so other companies may participate in a project’s future.
We conclude that broadband connections and may be increased by developing new technologies such as WiMAX networks and other options that are still under investigation.
