Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX • Making Universal Broadband a Reality 3
Offering Broadband Everywhere
WiMAX: Turning Technology into Revenues
Today, consumers demand ubiquitous, always-on
broadband connectivity at low cost, anywhere they are.
Leveraging a wealth of experience in broadband and
wireless communication, and based on the latest IEEE
802.16e-2005 standards, Alcatel-Lucent’s WiMAX
offerings are the answer. No other offer in the industry
so effectively addresses high-end users needing seamless
broadband mobility with a single subscription and device,
while at the same time serving users in remote villages
in emerging economies that are eager to connect to
the telephone and the Internet for the first time.
From an operator standpoint, Universal WiMAX
(802.16e-2005 or Rev-e) is a flexible broadband access
technology that opens new market opportunities in:
High growth economies, where WiMAX can deliver
High-Speed Internet (HSI) access and telephony services
— via voice over IP (VoIP) — in rural and urban environ-
ments where copper is not available, and also can meet
the needs of high-end users in urban settings.
Mature Economies marked by high penetration of
telecom services, where WiMAX allows operators
to offer their customers advanced broadband services
(video, gaming, office access) “on the go” and help
address holes in broadband coverage.
WiMAX also offers new entrants an efficient way to
penetrate the telecom market and challenge incumbent
operators.
A wide variety of applications — fixed, nomadic
or mobile — can be run over WiMAX, addressing
the requirements of both fixed and mobile operators
as well as ISPs or new entrants.

Vertical markets can also benefit from WiMAX
technology with applications in various environments

prises, power utilities, oil platforms and more.
For example, transportation facilities can use WiMAX
to track luggage and goods, law enforcement and security
companies for rapid and flexible deployment of surveil-
lance equipment, utility companies for telemetry and data
communications.
