Relay stations act as a self-install CPE for customers and communicate with indoor gateways via coax. Win-Max relay stations are being developed on the WiMAX 802.16j standard where WiNetworks is leading the development of this new WiMAX Forum standard.
• WiNMS: A comprehensive carrier-class network management system used to manage and monitor Win-Max product-based networks. WiNMS is a Java based cross-platform management application.
• Core Network: Win-Max™ system solution provides operators with all the necessary WiMAX core components such as ASN GW, AAA, DHCP and NMS servers, allowing quick deployment of end-to-end WiMAX network.

Core Network
The Point of Presence is the core of the WiMAX networks and interfaces between the wireless network and legacy networks.
It comprises these types of servers:
• Application Servers
• AAA Server
• ASN Gateway
• Home Agent
• DHCP Server
• NMS Server
The DHCP Server isn't a specific WiNetworks product. Any standard-based DHCP server, such as Linux DHCP Server, or other commercial 3rd party DHCP Server may be used. ASN Gateways
The key functions of the ASN GW are to aggregate the base stations, being responsible for SS/MS access control, IP connectivity, traffic routing inside the ASN and with external networks. Additionally, the ASN GW provides security and mobility support in the ASN and QoS support in the ASN with accordance to core network. The ASN GW is implemented by Cisco 7600/7300 family of routers.

WiMAX Challenges
Satisfying the growing demand for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) in underserved markets has been a continuing challenge for service providers. It is not simple to build systems that will effectively reach business and residential customers in a way that is comparable to cable, DSL, and fiber.
WiMAX boasts a number of advantages over other broadband technologies:
1. Interoperability: Unlike proprietary technologies that can only interoperate between devices made by the same vendor, WiMAX devices may interoperate with any other 802.16 certified product. This means that a WiMAX user may connect to the network regardless of the vendor of the transmitting base station or antenna.
2. Bandwidth: The capability to provide speeds in excess of 40Mbps makes WiMAX technology much faster than other broadband alternatives, including Wi-Fi, and cable.
3. Range: WiMAX base stations can transmit signals at distances of up to 20 miles. This range is a boon for rural users and consumers who are not served or underserved by existing broadband solutions. As such, WiMAX is a solution for the “last mile” problem, and in fact has the opportunity to extend the service areas in many rural locations.
These competitive advantages will drive WiMAX to be the preeminent broadband solution and ensures that it will play a dominant role in the development of the telecommunications industry.

WiMAX Standards
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is the common name associated with the IEEE802.16a/REVd/e standards. These standards are issued by the IEEE 802.16 subgroup that originally covered the Wireless Local Loop (WLL) technologies with radio spectrum from 10 to 66 GHz.
The IEEE 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access Standards develops standards and recommended practices to support the development and deployment of broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks. IEEE 802.16 is a unit of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee, the premier transnational forum for wireless networking standardization.
Recently, these specifications were extended in the range between 2 GHz and 11 GHz:
• In January 2003, the IEEE approved 802.16a as an amendment to IEEE 802.16- 2001, defining (Near) Line-Of-Sight capability,
• Mid-2004, IEEE 802.16REVd, which published under the name IEEE 802.16-2004, introduces support for indoor CPE (NLOS) and nomadicity through additional radio capabilities such as antenna beam forming and OFDM sub-channeling,
• In 2005, an IEEE 802.16e variant introduces support for mobility.
• See Table 1: Different Flavors of WiMAX for the applications associated with each of these standards.

Advantages	It supports mesh deployment in which transceivers can act relay stations, passing messages from one station to the next, thereby increasing the range. The use of lower frequencies allows more flexible implementations of the technology as these frequencies can penetrate walls and other barriers without the levels attenuation experienced at higher frequencies.	It provides minor improvements and fixes to 802.16a. Profiles for compliance testing are also provided.	This standard harmonizes the networking between fixed base stations and mobile devices, rather then just between base stations and fixed recipients. This enables handovers for mobile users to receive a high quality service as their vehicles move.
