How many different bands (licensed and license-exempt) are there within the 2 – 6GHz RF spectrum?
The WiMAX Forum will start the process of certifying initial equipment in the 3.3 to 3.8 GHz and 5.7 to 5.8 GHz bands. These profiles cover both TDD and FDD systems. The WiMAX Forum has developed system profiles addressing the 5.8 GHz license-exempt band, and the 2.5 and 3.5 GHz licensed bands to get the market started. The WiMAX Forum is working with service providers and equipment manufacturers to expand the frequency allocation to cover all the key spectrum bands that its member companies identify as interesting to potential WiMAX service providers.
