NEC's Mobile WiMAX: One Solution. Many Revenue-Building Scenarios.

NEC designed Mobile WiMAX on the firm foundation of a decade of success in wireless broadband access systems. Mobile WiMAX is on the leading edge of the worldwide trend toward fixed/mobile network convergence, and offers a flexible response to the diverse needs of network operators in different markets and locations.

For network operators such as telecom carriers and Internet service providers, NEC's Mobile WiMAX is an ideal backhaul technology. Using WiMAX infrastructure to support Wi-Fi hot spot backhaul is a cost-effective way to enhance coverage in metropolitan areas.

For Small and Medium Enterprise users, NEC's Mobile WiMAX is an excellent alternative to leased lines. Carriers generate income by providing VPN services and a global IP address for Internet access. Mobile WiMAX provides flexible network configuration and secure transport management.

For areas lacking wired broadband access such as ADSL, NEC's Mobile WiMAX provides a wireless solution that creates dual revenue streams. Hot spot providers can charge for usage, and telecom carriers gain steady income from the hot spot providers for usage of the core network or BSs. The benefits of NEC's WiMAX include minimum investment, VoIP capability and resuse of existing assets.

Mobile operators who are considering the expansion of 3G mobile network expansion or who wish to add value to their existing 3G networks have much to gain from Mobile WiMAX. It offers fast, seamless migration to the new, revenue-enhancing services that today's users demand. Based on IEEE 802.16e, Mobile WiMAX incorporates NEC's extensive experience and know-how in site-design optimization.
