The WiMax Point Of View

 

Via Satellite: Can satellite and WiMax players reach a compromise on sharing this bandwidth?

WiMax Forum: The WiMax Forum and the Global VSAT Forum are engaged in discussions to ensure that interference issues are addressed and resolved. The WiMax Forum recognizes that in some countries parts of the band in question may not be able to be used for broadband wireless access systems where ubiquitously deployed satellite earth stations use the whole band [from] 3.4 [to] 4.2 gigahertz. In some countries and regions, the coexistence issues have been studied in depth, and the recommendations agreed to give guidance to administrations about how the services can coexist.

Via Satellite: What are the next steps for the WiMax Forum?

WiMax Forum: The WiMax Forum is working in all the global and regional regulatory groups to pursue its aims of identifying spectrum in which to operate broadband wireless access services. The WiMax Forum is working with the Global VSAT Forum and in the ITU groups to ensure that both services can operate with minimal impact on each other’s services. The WiMax Forum and Global VSAT Forum are in agreement about the coexistence issues and are working together to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
