A new white paper from xG Technology titled, “Stacking xMax Against WiMAX IEEE (News - Alert) 802.16e,” claims that xMax, which recently received an INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine Product of the Year Award, is able to provide operators with a higher level of profitability than WiMAX (News - Alert).

 

xMax is a cellular infrastructure that employs smart radio technology to improve the utilization of the nation’s airwaves—potentially saving consumers substantial money by allowing the delivery of affordable mobile VoIP and broadband services across free spectrum.

In addition, it represents an innovative solution for to reclaiming spectrum that was once considered too crowded and interference-prone to be used for advanced wireless services.

 

The white paper compares xMax with WiMAX IEEE 802.16e to determine which of the two technologies provides a better return on investment or “ROI” for new entrant service providers.

“Even under the most conservative scenario, this white paper shows that xMax would be the more profitable wireless technology,” said Chris Whiteley (News - Alert), director of business development for xG Technology.

Whiteley said that these results are a real eye-opener as to how cognitive radio technology is set to change the industry landscape.

Key findings in the white paper point to the fact that xMax is capable of returning nearly three times more profit per dollar of CAPEX to an operator than WiMAX.

“The profitability advantage of xMax stems partially from the use of unlicensed spectrum and its explicit support for mass-scale mobile voice services, but primarily from the fact that its well-designed radio access network “RAN” architecture better matches the voice/data coverage that an operator is likely to encounter as a new entrant in mature markets,” company officials said.

In addition, the results underscore that xMax is uniquely positioned to reclaim national spectrum that can be used to help offload overtaxed cellular networks and lower the barriers to entry for the delivery of mobile services.
