With the advent of WiMAX, Broadband Wireless Access is undergoing a dramatic change. What differentiates WiMAX from earlier BWA developments is standardization. Current broadband wireless deployments are based on proprietary solutions in which each BWA vendor custom-builds their solution, which adds time and cost to the process. Similar to what has happened recently in the WLAN arena with Wi-Fi, WiMAX plans to enforce standards compliance among vendor members. This compliance will result in interoperability and ultimately plug-and-play products, the cost of which will benefit from economies of scale and hence bring dramatic improvement to the business case for the operator.
