Broadband Wireless The road to broadband wirelessAn industry overview by Majed Sifri, President and CEO, Redline Communications Inc. There is increasing need for high performance voice, data and video communications for e-learning, e-government, surveillance and other bandwidth-intensive services, beyond traditional voice and data. Broadband wireless equipment can provide data and voice backhaul for both mobile and fixed wireless networks and serve as a bridge between widely separated local area or Wi-Fi networks. It offers cost-effective bandwidth, coverage, quality of service (QoS) and security in areas where cost or access difficulties preclude traditional broadband deployment. Mr Majed Sifri is President and CEO of Redline Communications Inc., a technology leader in the development of standards-based broadband wireless access solutions. He has extensive experience in information technology and telecommunications, having founded and led several companies in these fields, including: CTI Datacom (Chair and CEO), an International communication network services firm; SIC partnership (Managing Partner), an investment management partnership; and Applications Technologies Inc. (Chair and President), a McLean Virginia natural language processing software corporation which was sold in 1998 to Lernout & Hauspie (L&H). Mr Sifri also founded and continues to serve on the board of Polymore Circuit Technologies, a Tennessee-based innovative circuit board manufacturing company. Mr Sifri also serves on the board of the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance (CATA) and on the Wireless Communications Alliance (WCA). Mr Sifri holds an MBA degree in Finance from George Washington University and Juris Doctor (JD) degree from the Washington College of Law at American University. The communications industry has been in a constant state of flux over the past 20 years. As market conditions and technology evolve, there has been unprecedented interest in the adoption of broadband. The wireless market is poised for explosive growth. The growing momentum in broadband wireless is driven by factors ranging from economics and market conditions, to new technologies and standards development. Reliable and secure broadband wireless services create opportunities for enterprises to expand their existing telecom resources, improve interoffice communications, deliver connectivity to remote sites and build redundancy faster and at lower cost. The business case for broadband wireless Broadband wireless fills an important communications gap. While highspeed wireline services provide the bandwidth needed to transfer large files, the cost of expansion is high, installation complex and time consuming and the ability to connect to remote sites limited or in some cases, non-existent. Users must depend upon a limited number of service providers that have the infrastructure to provide the connectivity they need. In many cases, these service providers cannot connect networks over great distances since the investment in infrastructure would far outweigh the returns. Wireless has provided some relief, but at a price. Satellite and microwave services do provide connectivity to remote sites, but coverage can be erratic and equipment costs and airtime fees can be quite expensive. Wi-Fi, while effective within buildings, cannot cover long distances, nor does it offer the speed or security needed for mission critical applications. Broadband wireless, on the other hand, provides the bandwidth, coverage, quality of service (QoS) and security of leased line services. Wireless also provides greater flexibility, significantly lower costs and eliminates monthly leased line or airtime fees. In addition, it can be deployed rapidly, allowing businesses to compete more effectively through improved communications between sites. Rapid deployment combined with better performance bodes well for businesses in cellular, internetworking and voice over IP (VoIP) service adoption. In addition, the relatively low cost of equipment and the ability to cover great distances, opens the door for smaller, non-traditional service providers to provide connectivity to organisations at virtually any location. The evolving telecom industry Over the past 20 years, the telecom industry has gone through several stages. The early conversions from analogue to digital networks preceded a period in the late 1990s of unprecedented 48
