BALL STATE UNIVERSITY

2006-04-05ELS_75390

We believe that this 802.16 WiMAX technology is the future of broadband wireless and
will reach millions of people in under-served areas in the United States. Ball State
University, in partnership with leading telecom companies, has a plan to test the 3.5
GHz, WiMAX technology and share the findings with others. It will allow Ball State
University the opportunity to learn and evaluate equipment based on the IEEE 802.16
standard. The initial goal is to determine the feasibility of this technology to deliver high
bandwidth and determine advantages and disadvantages as compared to existing non-
licensed frequency data delivery mechanisms. Further, the testing performed during
this development will serve to identify and correct any issues related to “real world”
implementation. Questions of quality of services, ease of use, and client transparency
will be explored, tested, and reported to national audiences and partners.

The goal is to use certified 802.16 equipment and deliver broadband data to multiple
remote sites and monitor them in a working environment. Ball State University also
wants to study the signal propagation of the frequency using smart antennas and
baseband Radio Frequency Integrated Chip (RFIC).

At the end of the research Bal State University will be able to use the data acquired to
report its finding on the use of 802.16 as a new generation of broadband data delivery
network.
