WiMAX technology seems to be an interesting alternative in broadband connections, since you have registered positive results in different points of the planet. In this case, let’s know some important facts about its use in Latin America and United States. In the case of the South American continent, WiMAX networks have allowed an increase in connections broadband in different countries. This is because it provides an alternative that allows to reach a large number of users, taking into account the lower cost and installation time involving, compared with other technologies. The percentage of the population with broadband connections is located in South America, at around 15%. However, there are Nations that registered minor penetrations, for example, Brazil has only 3%. Even in the country that has the strongest of South America 40% of urban economy does not have the infrastructure required for broadband connections. As indicated the main drivers of this alternative, WiMAX can mean a great opportunity for further disseminate broadband connections, by accessing this form a greater part of the population to digital television, IP telephony and other so many possibilities that it opens faster connections to the network.

Apparently, the companies dedicated to the development of this technology in Latin America estimate overcome WiMAX broadband connections million in subsequent years. One of the companies that will be facing this challenge is Alvarion, specializing in the deployment of networks under this technology. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela are some of the countries in which WiMAX options increase can be seen in more concrete form. In them, the networks of this type are already commonplace, when until some time ago were a negligible percentage of the market. In United States, mobile WiMAX logically, in United States the needs in terms of connections broadband are totally different with respect are recorded that in Latin America. Bearing this in mind, in North America the WiMAX developments aim to increase mobile type connections. It is thus that the signature DigitalBridge Communications begins providing mobile Internet services in the town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, through the use of WiMAX networks.

In this way, in that city and its area of influence may be accessed wireless connections without limitation of location at lower costs. The infrastructure for the development of this network, which allows the establishment of connections broadband with access to voice, data and video in motion at any point of the zone of influence, was developed by Alvarion. However, it is an open network, so other companies may participate in a future project. As a conclusion we can say that broadband connections may be increased as well thanks to the development of new technologies, such as WiMAX networks and other options that are still at the research stage.
