Meeting the fast-paced challenges
of universal broadband
WiMAX offers operators the opportunity to capture the three main pieces
of the universal broadband industry trend in a single technology, regardless
of whether they are building on an existing business and subscriber base, or
starting from scratch:
• Ubiquity – untethering the broadband experience from fixed locations,
for access anywhere
• Always on – continuous broadband availability from the moment
the end user wakes in the morning until they retire at night
• All-IP – delivery of broadband over 100 percent IP networks offering
optimized economics, simplicity and performance
However, in deploying WiMAX today, operators find themselves in unfamiliar
territory. The radio technology is new so standard procedures are not established,
and even for experienced mobile service providers, the IP networking aspect is
a whole new world. There is an elevated need for assurances of a fast, ready-to-
market approach, reduced risk and reduced network complexity — both for the
initial and subsequent steps in the business. Significant market changes must
be anticipated, as the arrival of mobile WiMAX devices and handhelds will soon
begin to change users’ needs from more classical PC-oriented services to more
personalized ones. The rapid ramp-up in subscribers and traffic will also put pres-
sure on service providers to maintain consistent, high-quality service delivery.

The requirements for launching a sustainable
WiMAX business play out in three steps:
Step 1: Cost-effective coverage and capacity – The initial need is to roll out
high-speed Internet and VoIP services quickly and economically, with a high
standard of QoS and quality of experience (QoE) for end users.
Step 2: Sustainable expansion – In the next phase, as your subscriber base and
resulting network traffic grows rapidly, you must maintain this outstanding
quality of experience and be able to scale the network at optimized cost.
Step 3: Differentiated services that grow revenue – Finally, your competitive need
will be to differentiate your service offer, with personalized mobile multimedia
applications that enable you to leverage the broadband connection and move
up the value chain. Not only can these steps generate new revenue opportuni-
ties, but also allow you to take advantage of new business models.

Packet-optimized
backhaul and transport
As broadband wireless technologies like WiMAX
bring unprecedented capacity burdens, backhaul and
transport networks are becoming more critical than
ever. The industry is late in realizing this area repre-
sents one of the highest costs in deploying a WiMAX
network. With a wide range of packet-optimized
technology options, Alcatel-Lucent offers valuable
ways to optimize both the cost of initial deployment
and scaling up capacity over time.
WiMAX Devices – Alcatel-Lucent is a leading player in
the emergence of an open WiMAX ecosystem. We are
driving the early availability of key features by investing
in an aggressive interoperability testing (IOT) program,
run in WiMAX IOT centers worldwide, as well as by
working with over 16 partners — including all major chipset
vendors and a growing list of CPE suppliers. We are also
reinforcing commercial CPE offerings through multiple
go-to-market partnerships and promotional agreements
with device partners. The goal is to stimulate competition,
making the widest possible array of affordable device choices
available to operators. To this end, Alcatel-Lucent is actively
involved in the WiMAX Forum standardization and certifica-
tion process and was a founding member of the Open Patent
Alliance, formed to bring transparency to WiMAX-related
intellectual property rights.
Chief among these packet-optimized technologies
is microwave backhauling, where Alcatel-Lucent has
options for WiMAX — the 9500 Microwave Packet
Radio, for example, is full IP with high capacity (2Gb/s),
and scalability. The entire microwave portfolio inte-
grates directly into the WiMAX base station cabinet
for total cost of ownership (TCO) reductions of up to
18 percent. Alcatel-Lucent’s leadership in fixed broad-
band also brings cutting-edge technology IP/MPLS

IP mastery for unrivalled QoS/QoE
To maintain reliable performance for
real-time applications, such as voice
over IP and video, the Alcatel-Lucent
WiMAX solution manages QoS dy-
namically, with traffic prioritization
across all network levels. Starting
with the request from the end-user
device, each network level commu-
nicates with the others to determine
the required QoS level for the session.
Then it dynamically checks the network
resources available, based on the
rights of the subscriber. And finally,
packets are tagged accordingly, estab-

tions from Bell Labs to give unprec-
edented QoS/QoE guarantees. The

Guardian is the first product on the
market providing simultaneous, real-
time visibility over every link of the

Whereas operators are often attentive
to high IP bandwidth consumption
such as P2P file-sharing behaviors,
airtime and signaling resources can
also become exhausted. Leaving VPN
connections open for hours when
totally unused, for example, can
eat up scarce airtime resources in
the cell, and mobile e-mail deliv-
ery devices create signaling loads
disproportionate to the light IP
capacity they require. The Alcatel-
Lucent 9900 Wireless Network
Guardian provides full visibility into
how real end-user behaviors impact
network utilization, enabling QoS
adjustments in real-time and better
network planning. This represents
a first step into deep packet inspec-
tion technology. The Alcatel-Lucent
End-to-End IP Wireless-Broadband
Solution roadmap calls for integrating
application-assurance capabilities,
such as tiered service quality, into
the solution using Alcatel-Lucent
service-edge routers in the near future.
