Preface

Long waited and expected WiMAX network has been in Bangladesh since October 2009
in commercial basis. WiMAX is a wireless digital communications system, also known
as IEEE 802.16 that is intended for wireless “metropolitan area networks”. WiMAX can
provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and
3 – 10 miles (5 – 15 km) for mobile stations. WiMAX has the potential to replace a
number of existing telecommunications infrastructures. In a fixed wireless configuration
it can replace the telephone company’s copper wire networks, the cable TV’s coaxial
cable infrastructure while offering Internet Service Provider (ISP) services. In its mobile
variant, WiMAX has the potential to replace cellular networks. What makes WiMAX so
exciting is the broad range of applications it makes possible but not limited to broadband
internet access, T1/E1 substitute for businesses, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) as
telephone company substitute, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) as cable TV
substitute, backhaul for Wi-Fi hotspots and cell phone towers, mobile telephone service,
mobile data TV, mobile emergency response services, wireless backhaul as substitute for
fiber optic cable.

 UNDERSTANDING WiMAX
Now a day the evolution of internet have effect to the peoples. The important problem is
the range of signal and the speed of internet. The way to prove this problem is WiMAX
because it more advantage on the range and speed to transfer the data on the internet.

WiMAX is an IP based, wireless broadband access technology that provides performance

similar to 802.11/Wi-Fi networks with the coverage and QOS (quality of service) of
cellular networks. WiMAX is also an acronym meaning "Worldwide Interoperability for
Microwave Access (WiMAX).

At its heart, however, WiMAX is a standards initiative. Its purpose is to ensure that the
broadband wireless radios manufactured for customer use interoperate from vendor to
vendor. The primary advantages of the WiMAX standard are to enable the adoption of
advanced radio features in a uniform fashion and reduce costs for all of the radios made
by companies, who are part of the WiMAX Forum™ - a standards body formed to ensure
interoperability via testing. The more recent Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard is a
similar term describing a parallel technology to WiMAX that is being developed by
vendors and carriers as a counterpoint to WiMAX.

Much of the credit for the formation of the WiMAX Forum™ and to the founding
members of the WiMAX Forum, which committed themselves early to the process of
creating a collaborative standards body. As a founding member of the WiMAX Forum,
Intel recognized that a well developed ecosystem was necessary to drive adoption and
thereby drive lower hardware costs. Intel was also instrumental in getting other silicon
chip manufacturers involved whose products would form the core of WiMAX
technology.

A Safe Network
Since much of the technology being utilized in the IEEE 802.16 standard (WiMAX
standard) is widely deployed, there is a historical body of evidence supporting the safety
of technologies used in upcoming WiMAX and WiMAX products. Microwave and other
spectrum technologies enjoy over a hundred years of historical evidence of safety when
prudently handled and configured. The amount of power allowed to deliver broadband
wireless signal varies from frequency to frequency, however, most are modest topping
out at around 40 watts at the tower relay site. While certain basic precautions need to be
taken when onsite at communications towers (i.e. Standing directly in front of active
microwave links at essentially zero range) the configurations for public use are
understood and safe. Customer premise equipment is even safer.

13
Structure of WiMAX Network
WiMAX networks consist of two parts:
1. Base Station (BS): control all of Cell Site and connect Wired Internet Backbone

2. Subscriber Unit (SS): connect with receiver station using subscriber device that
called “Customer Premises Equipment” or “CPE”, like a Hub which is a center
for transfer high power data to connect in the remote distance.

Form the feather of WiMAX network; it is not complex such as mobile network case.
Each WiMAX station has ability to process the result completely, store data in processing
and calculate translation of data in term of IP (Internet Protocol).There are many ways to
connect WiMAX data. For instance, hiring IP network for connecting to a station, using
WiMAX station to translate LOS signal. In case of WiMAX services those have their
own mobile phone, can get more benefits from medium that connect with mobile phone
device network.

Categories of connection for WiMAX

1. PTP (Point to Point): connect directly between server and client.

2. PMP (Point to Multipoint): directly connect between one server with many clients.

3. Mesh Topology: connection seems to be the spider web both servers and clients can be
connected to each other.

Therefore, WiMAX is the fastest wireless technology in connecting to various purposes.

Being cheap and comfortable can be the choice for you to use this technology as the main
connection in your life or business.

Detailed Design

Transmitter: The process of the transmitter is straight forward. The Source Generator will
first generate data, and then go through the source coding blocks, after that, an inverse
FFT will be used to achieve a time-domain signal that can be transmitted over channel.

Receiver: The base band receiver can be partitioned into front end and back end. The
base band front end is defined as the subsystems that involve parameter estimation. The
base band backend is defined as the subsystems that involve signal detection.

14
How WiMAX works?
WiMAX, just like Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transfer data. The important difference is
that WiMAX uses two spectrums of frequencies to provide two kinds of wireless
broadband access services. (Mobile WiMAX & Fixed WiMAX)

The WiMAX system has

two parts; one is the
WiMAX tower (similar
to a cell phone tower) and
a receiver. The receiver
can be of two types
depending on the device.

It can be an embedded
device just like our Wi-Fi
receivers or it can be
advanced hardware
equipment with dedicated
antennae.

The WiMAX tower

connects to internet
through regular mediums
of connectivity like fiber
optic cable or T1 lines. It
can also connect with
other WiMAX towers using radio link. This additional line-of-sight connectivity is the
biggest advantage of WiMAX. Technically, this is called the backhaul system. Thus by
installing multiple towers, WiMAX can easily provide broadband access to large number
of people.

Uses

The bandwidth and range of WiMAX make it suitable for the following potential
applications:

• Connecting Wi-Fi hotspots to the Internet.

• Providing a wireless alternative to cable and DSL for “last mile” broadband
access.
• Providing data and telecommunications services.
• Providing a source of Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan.
That is, if a business has a fixed and a wireless Internet connection, especially

15
 from unrelated providers, they are unlikely to be affected by the same service
outage.
• Providing portable connectivity.

Advantages of WiMAX
• Large Area of Coverage: As WiMAX can deliver high-speed internet to large
distance, it is very well suited to provide broadband access to remote areas of the
world.

• Scalability: As earlier mentioned, by using backhaul feature of WiMAX, you can

set up large number of WiMAX towers in matter of days as opposed to wiring
that requires proper planning and heavy labor.

• In Built QoS: Quality of Service mechanisms in WiMAX allows mission-critical

services to run smoothly even if there is lack of resources. This way, mission
critical services are allowed to run at full priority when everything is busy.

• Multi-User Connectivity: A single WiMAX tower can connect to 100 client

receivers. These clients can of different modes of operation.

WiMAX Could Boost Government Security

In an emergency, communication is crucial for government officials as they try to
determine the cause of the problem, find out who may be injured and coordinate rescue
efforts or cleanup operations. A gas-line explosion or terrorist attack could sever the
cables that connect leaders and officials with their vital information networks.

WiMAX could be used to set up a back-up (or even primary) communications system
that would be difficult to destroy with a single, pinpoint attack. A cluster of WiMAX
transmitters would be set up in range of a key command center but as far from each other
as possible. Each transmitter would be in a bunker hardened against bombs and other
attacks. No single attack could destroy all of the transmitters, so the officials in the
command center would remain in communication at all times.

Limitations
A commonly-held misconception is that WiMAX will deliver 70 Mbit/s over 50
kilometers (~31 miles). In reality, WiMAX can either operate at higher bit rates or over
longer distances but not both: operating at the maximum range of 50 km increases bit
error rate and thus results in a much lower bit rate. Conversely, reducing the range (to
<1km) allows a device to operate at higher bit rates. There are no known examples of
WiMAX services being delivered at bit rates over around 3 Mbit/s.

16
 INTERNET IN BANGLADESH
The history of the internet is not that old even in developed countries. The people of
Bangladesh had to remain in the dark about it for a long time because of the non-
availability of the service in this part of the globe. The main obstacle to start the service
was to have data circuits to a suitable overseas location. However in this condition a few
young talents started dialup e-mail service and made it commercially available for public
use. In late 1995 the government of Bangladesh invited applications to subscribe the
VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) data circuits.

On June 4, 1996 the VSAT base data circuit was commissioned for the first time in the
country. Upon VSAT commissioning, internet connectivity was established & its services
were made available to the public. After internet was launched, the June 1996 National
polls results were made available to the netizens of the world using World Wide Web.
This was the first ever usage event of its kind in Bangladesh. The effort was appreciated
in many corners especially among the Bangladeshis living abroad.

After the introduction of Internet, the use of email increased exponentially owing to point
to point direct transmission. Prior to it dialup links were used to communicate to an
overseas e-mail server using international phone calls. The uploading & downloading of
mails took place using UUCP (Unix-to-Unix copy).

The introduction of Internet did not instantly create a market. At the end of year, there
were only two ISPs in the country and the number of users was close to one thousand
only. The year 1997 recorded a tremendous growth. The total number of ISPs was more
than a dozen and the clientele growth was ten times higher than that of the previous year.
Afterward, a few new ISPs started their venture recording a proportionate growth in
number of users. However, more liberal Government policies followed in the subsequent
years which led to a rapid expansion of this industry, eventually resulting in over 180
registered ISP's by 2005. In 2006 Bangladesh got connected to the SEA-ME-WE 4
Submarine cable. After that, many ISPs found the opportunity to connect the submarine
cable via Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (Now BTCL). This is the time
when number of internet users increased by quite a big margin as bandwidth quality and
price became affordable to general individuals. Over the years BTCL reduced the
bandwidth price at regular intervals which attract more and more users towards the
internet cloud.

As of now, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has about

one hundred and sixty six registered ISP license holders and there are approximately Four
Hundred and Fifty (450) thousand users connected to them which is about 0.32% of the
total population.

17
Constraints on Internet Growth
• Underdeveloped IT industry
• Limited trained human resources
• Poor telecommunication infrastructure
• Low level of computer literacy
• Widespread poverty
• Limited point of presence of ISPs
• Lack of software and content in Bangla

Qubee is a new and exciting company from Augere
providing fast and reliable broadband internet services to
residential and business customers across Bangladesh. To
provide a trouble-free access to the internet and the world of
opportunities that it brings Qubee aimed to built a magical
internet experience available to everyone, everyday, without
exception.

Qubee is the creation of a group of global telecoms

professionals who saw that a new technology called WiMAX
could really change the internet experience for millions of
people worldwide. WiMAX means that you don’t need telephone lines or cable to get
connected: all you need is to live close enough to a transmitter to receive the internet
wirelessly.

QuBee Services & Packages

QUBEE frustrated Dhaka peoples as they launched their package from 512kbps where
Modem prize was 7000 BDT. Later on they decreased Modem prize to 4000 BDT and
launched Campus package for students 128kbps and 256kbps which became popular to
mass peoples immediately.

 E-Government
E-Government is about automation of existing every-day government activities. Some
examples include: (a) day-to-day communication such as notification of a meeting time;
(b) accessing documents such as meeting minutes, policy documents; (c) accessing
needed data such as export growth of a certain commodity; (d) tracking progress of
government projects; (e) disseminating policies and strategies such as laws passed at the
Parliament.

SELECTED E-GOVERNMENT PROJECTS IN BANGLADESH

Some of the major e-government projects in Bangladesh are briefly outlined below. This
is by no means a comprehensive list.

Ministry of Finance: has customized software for budget planning, sensitivity analysis,
impact analysis, financial projections and various reports

National Board of Revenue: Much of the activities of NBR have been computerized.
NBR is computerizing the revenue budget procedure.

Ministry of Science and ICT: Creating web-sites containing information about various
ministries

Ministry of Communication: Provides online searchable database of contractors,

tenders. They have also created a Project Monitoring System for tracking progress of
projects. They have databases of 9,011 bridge structures and 20,000 km roads

Bangladesh Planning Commission: Creating software for interfacing between

development and revenue budget. The IT system at Bangladesh Plannin Commission has
the following features:

o File sharing facilities through LAN

o Video Conferencing
o Electronic Notice Board
o Digital Library containing policies of Bangladesh in searchable format, minutes
of meetings, other useful documents etc.
o ADP database facilities
o Software for tracking movement of files

 Areas of Implementation
Development means advancing in all aspects of living and that can’t be possible without
the modernization of our resources. Comparing to the advanced world we’re still at the
Stone Age, having our daily life as it goes no.

Our present government shows some ray of hope with the “Digital Bangladesh” project.
Digitization helps increase operational efficiency and productivity provided the
supporting infrastructures work properly. This is a tool that will help accelerate economic
development and increase competitive edges of Bangladesh in the world market.

It is assumed that by 2021 Bangladesh will have a countrywide ICT network that will
operate to ensure high speed information flow between the decision- centers wherefrom
instructions will be transmitted electronically to the action centers to make the intended
actions happen.

The goal is to accelerate a national decision-making process and to implement at the

decisions, monitor the performance of the government functionaries at all levels starting
from the national parliament through the ministries, administrative offices at districts,
upazilas and down to the schools at village levels; evaluate the results at each level and if
necessary correct the behavior of the non-performers.

The scope of DB is very wide. It is not only e-governance or e-commerce or e-banking,

or operating a country-wide mobile phone network through which one can access the
daily newspapers or other internet devices.

In fact, it is a combination of all of them. It is a country-wide application of 3G ICT to

institutionalize the best management practices in every sector and sub-sector. To make
DB happen, highest priority must be given to science, technology and management
education. Besides, to be productive, the educated people must be in good health. This
means digitization should start simultaneously with the education and health sectors.

Education Sector

The universities of Bangladesh are already partly digitized. DB visualizes that by 2021 all
universities, colleges, high schools, primary schools, and madrasahs will have
computerized connectivity. ICT is intended to be used as teaching-learning aids. After
five years of schooling all students should have regular access to computers with internet
facilities. The goal is to improve the quality of education. The use of automated library is
spreading slowly in most universities, although they have to go a long way to be digital in
the real sense. By 2021 the entire education sector should be digitized with third
generation wireless technology.

26
Health sector

Under the Ministry of Health there are medical universities, colleges and hospitals in big
cities. In addition, there are a large number of rural hospitals/clinics/healthcare service
centers at district, upazila, and thana levels. However, most of these hospitals and clinics
are not well equipped and their services are not of desirable quality. The number of
qualified doctors and nurses is much less than required. Nor do they have required type of
diagnostic equipment and operating theatres. Reportedly, the available facilities and
medicines are often misused.

In future Bangladesh all these clinics will be linked through the computer-aided
connectivity. Major hospitals should even have their websites linked with the websites of
the DG, Health Directorate. But it must be noted that merely establishing connectivity
will not solve the problems of inadequacy of the number of doctors, nurses, equipment,
medicines, etc.

What the digitization can do is to seek, receive, analyze the medical reports and transmit
back prescriptions/instructions, monitor the performances at the rural clinics
electronically.

In other words, decisions can be implemented very quickly. This will ease out
management problems. Because the entire information and data set will flow back and
forth electronically they will be relatively more transparent and in turn the probability of
indulgence in corruption will decrease. Beside, by 2021, Bangladesh will hopefully
introduce video conference systems between doctors in major clinics.

Managerial talent

To digitise Bangladesh with 3G technology in 12 years is fairly ambitious. However,

there is no reason to feel skeptical. It needs strong commitment and strategic planning for
sustainable DB. The beginning must concentrate on the development of infrastructure in
terms of hardware, software and manpower. Merely buying several numbers of
computers and distributing them among several thousand workstations located in
colleges, schools, hospitals and clinics will not digitise Bangladesh. Locally produced
qualified manpower must be available to keep the system running without depending on
foreign "experts." The project presupposes that Bangladesh will be able to build its
technical and managerial capacity to design the necessary digital network system, procure
and install all the equipment properly, and to educate, train and deploy necessary
personnel to operate and maintain the nationwide ICT network.

Sustainability of DB will depend on our ability to maintain, repair and expand once the
system is installed. To install the system at the beginning we may seek foreign help, but
to keep the system running we must not depend on external help. We must develop our
own manpower.

27
To produce such human resources, the government must assign highest priority to the
promotion of science, technology and management education. We must prepare a
separate plan to produce adequate number of scientists, computer and communication
engineers, software engineers, technology management experts, etc.

Why WiMAX
Right now we have a 25/2.75G Network for wireless communication spread all across the
land and have 0.32% population penetration to internet. Mobile internet came up with the
promise to provide internet any where and this mobility of internet really mobilize the
internet sector in Bangladesh. But 2G network has it own limitations with the data
transfer speed. At this point, WiMAX came up with the solution which gives the
assurance of high speed in any WiMAX enabled device or by using a WiMAX router.
Beyond the speed, the future of a 4G network rises with so many opportunities; which
refers to all IP packet switched networks, mobile ultra-broadband (gigabit speed) access
and multi-carrier transmission.

4G is being developed to
accommodate the QoS (Quality
of Service) and rate
requirements set by further
development of existing 3G
applications like wireless
broadband access, Multimedia
Messaging Service (MMS),
video chat, mobile TV, but also
new services like HDTV
content, minimal services like
voice and data, and other
services that utilize bandwidth. 4G may allow roaming with wireless local area networks,
and may interact with digital video broadcasting systems.

In all proposed development sectors in Bangladesh, WiMAX can be a very helpful

technology. It offers mobility as well as high speed regarding to other wireless internet
services and easy to spread over the country than wired services.

28
 Summary
Only few months went away with WiMAX flavor in Bangladesh. Peoples are becoming
interested about it. General peoples start calculating byte or bit, they sort the difference
between it. Entrepreneurs start thinking about web based applications.
Government Regulatory of Bangladesh started processing to give more licenses to fixed
WiMAX operators. They will give 3G license to other GSM Operator's. From the
people’s point of view, a lot of alternatives are up coming for data services in
Bangladesh. Wide-scale digitization is likely to help Bangladesh become a mid-income
country sooner than otherwise possible. However, for proper management the
government needs to define its vision, mission and goals and formulate strategies and
prepare action plans supported by necessary financial and human resources so that the
plans can be implemented.

29
Conclusion
Bangladesh as a country with 150 million population has huge potential, despite having
many problems. It is very important to create skilled manpower educated in science and
technology. Currently, the people of Bangladesh remain far away from using ICT, when
the whole world is getting developed with the blessings of ICT. The people of the country
face this discrimination only because of economic insolvency. Due to poverty and
illiteracy, use of ICT is beyond imagination and some of them consider it nothing but
mere a fashion. Despite having a lot of interest, most of the population remains out of the
access of ICT because of high price. In the era of globalization, ICT is a cross-cutting
issue as well as an essential tool for economic development. It can play an important role
in creating employment, raising work skills and production. It can contain corruption and
attain social development. The adoption of ICT can bring corruption-free, citizen-centric
and forward-looking governance in the country. The life and livelihood of a large number
of populations, especially those living in rural areas, cannot be developed without
utilizing the ICT scope for them.

If technology combined with essential social-development programmes that bring

measurable improvements to Bangladesh's rural inhabitants, the result would be a major
advance for the country.

Recommendations
• A technology friendly government policy which will knot all the strings of
development at one point.
• As soon as the internet penetration is getting higher the current 2.5/2.75 G mobile
network would not be sufficient for the services. So government should soon
introduce the next generation technology.
• To reach the expectation of the subscribers, the WiMAX service should be
cheaper.
• Price of WiMAX enabled devices should be reduced.
