With Internet speeds three to five times faster than what the service providers are currently offering, WiMax is the next telecommunications technology to watch out for. It was basically pitched as a mobile wireless broadband solution that could offer high wireless broadband speeds. This new technology replaces the wired connections to provide wireless broadband access and it also has good propagation capabilities.

With the usage of WiMax products the service providers can access wider area or scope and can also reach areas where wired connections cannot! Since there is no usage of hardware like cable installations, cost is definitely cut down with the usage of these products and service providers can also achieve higher bandwidth and secure transmissions.

Mobile IP technology is another critical component of the WiMax network that enables macro mobility of subscriber stations, ensuring a consistent user experience and set of capabilities no matter where subscribers attach to the network.

Here the home agent serves as an anchor point for subscribers, providing easy, secure roaming with QoS capabilities to optimize their mobile experience. It works in conjunction with a foreign agent, such as the ASN Gateway, to provide an efficient end-to-end Mobile IP solution.
