Blue Ocean Wimax + Broadcasting in China

4.30

WiMAX was accepted by ITU as one of 3G standards, while directly competing with TD-SCDMA in china market and TDD spectrum world wild. Frequency resource and multi-cellular deployment efficiency weakness are also the obstacles of WiMAX system. Jushri focus on the new generation of broadband wireless system with improvement and extension to WiMAX, which converged WiMAX with large area broadcasting in new air interface and can be deployed in UHF band for triple play. In China, this is a blue ocean and potential huge market chance for broadband wireless communication. Jushri also emphasize on independent development to bring our latest technical achievement into commerical products and to provide total broadband telecommunication solutions. Our leading broadband wireless communication system with broadcasting has been deployed for pilot project in Shanghai, Jiangsu Province etc.

Security Policy And Best Practices For WiMAX

2.00

Organizations need to create a WiMAX network security policy that addresses each type of WiMAX network technology of interest. The policy should identify such things as who may or may not use the technology, who may install equipment, where the technology may be used, what the physical security requirements are for the technology, what types of information may or may not be sent and received through the technology, how security incidents should be reported, how WiMAX devices should be protected, how transmissions should be protected (e.g., encryption requirements), and how often the security of the implementation should be assessed. Organizations also need to ensure that all critical personnel are properly trained on the use of the WiMAX technology. Network administrators need to be fully aware of the security risks that the networks and associated devices pose, and they need to know what steps to take in the event of an incident. Users also need to be aware of their responsibilities in using WiMAX technologies. Therefore best practices will play important role. Here we will addressed Best Practices in Authentication, Best Practices in Encryption,Best Practices in Authorization and Auditing will make the future WiMAX in to secure as WiMAX don’t have end to end security.
