The solution
• Combination of Broadband and Narrowband Powerline carrier for the extreme climatic conditions
• Water meter communicate via Wireless M-Bus (to BPLC or Power meter)
• Power meter use integrated Narrowband PLC as communication infrastructure to the data concentrator
• Narrowband and Broadband PLC co-exist on low voltage lines
• BPLC is used for Backhaul communication via the medium voltage lines to the backbone network

WiMAX Standards Overview
WiMAX (= Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)
Cell based wireless broadband Point-to-Multipoint technology
IEEE Standards Series 802.16 (Broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks)
Industry Alliance „WiMAX Forum“ certifies products of different vendors and
assures interoperability
> 10 years of technology development and continuous evolution
Main standards evolution steps are:
IEEE 802.16d-2004, Fixed WiMAX“:
Bridging the „last mile“ to connect fixed terminals, e.g. for broadband wireless access
(BWA) to the Internet as an alternative to cable or DSL;
Terminal equipment also known as CPE (customer premises equipment)
IEEE 802.16e-2005, „Mobile WiMAX“:
Supporting Mobility, i.e. allows handover of connections into neighboring cells during
ongoing operation
(ITU-R IMT-2000 classified, „3G“)
IEEE 802.16m-2011:
Support of high speed data transfer by further evolution of the air interface; Data rates up
to 100 Mbit/s for mobile and 1 Gbit/s for fixed applications becoming possible
(ITU-R IMT-Advanced classified, „4G“)

WiMAX Planning and Engineering
Design Sequence
• Understand frequency situation and define target frequency
1.8 GHz / 2.x GHz / 3.x GHz / 5.x GHz
• Define coordinates of possible Base Station sites
• Define site coordinates of Terminal sites
• Define traffic pattern of Terminal sites
• Perform Radio Planning (Mentum Planet)
accuracy of results are correlated with the resolution of the
geographical and clutter input data
→ freeware (topologicals data only) may suffice for initial offering
purposes
→ binding offer / implementation planning requiring high resolution geo
& clutter data (saleable item!)
• Optimize radio network (e.g. long range terminals, define repeaters)
• Design Backhaul network (FO interconnection, Radio interconnection)
• Define security concept (AAA, DHCP server)
• BoM Wimax network
• BoM Backhaul network
• BoM Security components
• Input for infrastructure components
