A wireless metropolitan area network (MAN) offers broadband network access via exterior antennas. Antennas communicate with base stations which are connected to core network. This is a good alternative to fixed line networks. It is generally simple to build and relatively inexpensive. Wireless is an old-fashioned term for a radio receiver, referring to its use as a wireless telegraph. ...
Metropolitan Area Networks or MANs are large computer networks usually spanning a campus or a city. ...
Broadband in general refers to data transmission where multiple pieces of data are sent simultaneously to increase the effective rate of transmission. ...
In biology, antenna (plural: antennae) refers to the sensing organs of several arthropods. ...

802.16 is a “last mile” technique which uses bandwidth between 10 – 66 GHz. Because of the short wavelength, line of sight is required. Standard supports point-to-multipoint topology, frequency-division duplex (FDD) and time-division duplex (TDD) in a consistent framework and full quality of service (QoS). With QoS it is possible to send sound, video etc. Standard specifies 120 Mbit/s on each 25 MHz channel. The last mile is the final leg of delivering communications connectivity to a resident or customer. ...
FDMA, or frequency-division multiple access, is the oldest and most important of the three main ways for multiple radio transmitters to share the radio spectrum. ...
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a technology for shared medium (usually radio) networks. ...
In the fields of packet-switched networks and computer networking, the traffic engineering term Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the probability of the telecommunication network meeting a given traffic contract, or in many cases is used informally to refer the probability of a packet succeeding in passing between two...
802.16a followed 802.16 standard. It was completed in November 2002 and published on 1 April 2003. It uses bandwidth between 2 - 11 GHz and support mesh instead of only point-to-multipoint network architecture. Standard doesn't need line of sight. With mesh support subscriber stations communicate with other subscribers rather than directly with the base station. April 1 is the 91st day of the year (92nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 274 days remaining. ...
2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
