Demand has also been met by the use of newer infrastructure, such as
fiber-optic cables. However, the reach of these infrastructures is not ubiquitous, partly
because such ubiquity is not commercially feasible. Additionally, even for those with
access to the infrastructure, these technologies are limited in their ability to deliver
users??™ mobile and nomadic communication needs. In parts of the populous world with
undeveloped communication infrastructure, growth in bandwidth demand is no less intense.
However, delivering bandwidth by deploying wired infrastructure in these parts
of the world is equally cost prohibitive.
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technology has been seen as the technology that
can meet the broadband needs of much of the world. It is expected to meet the broadband
needs of nomadic and mobile users always hungry for more bandwidth. It is also
expected to serve as a medium to deliver broadband communication to populations
without access to wired broadband services. Even for the masses with other means of
broadband access, it creates an opportunity for alternate carriers to enter a market
even if they do not have access to the wired infrastructure.
