Summary

If you are interested in deploying a WiMAX network then you are trying to figure out how much equipment you might need. You are asking yourself questions such as "How much it might cost?", "What impact does changing the coverage area have on the bottom line?", "What impact does changing the data rate or throughput have?", and more. The answers to these questions depend upon the types of services you are planning to provide as well as the demographics of your intended coverage area. This publication provides a framework for answering these questions.
