AN is intended to be an interoperable BFWA system operating at radio frequencies between 2GHz and 1GHz. Designed for fixed wireless access provisioning to residences and small and medium-sized enterprises, the standard uses the basic MAC layer, data link layer, and connectionless service of the 802.16 standard. It has been developed in close cooperation with IEEE 802.16, so that the HiperMAN standard and a subset of the IEEE 802.16a standard will interoperate seamlessly. The IEEE 802.16 OFDM and ETSI HiperMAN standards share the same PHY and MAC specifications. For higher layers, these specifications are assumed to be available or to be developed by other bodies. Although HiperMAN's main focus is IP traffic, it can also support ATM. It offers various service categories, full QoS, fast connection control management, strong security, fast adaptation of coding, and modulation; it is also capable of non- line-of-sight operation. HiperMAN enables both point-to-multipoint and mesh network configurations. HiperMAN also supports both FDD and TDD frequency allocations and H-FDD (Half-Duplex Frequency Division Duplex) terminals. iBurst iBurst is a niche broadband wireless technology that at first appears to compete for market share with Mobile WiMax and Mobile-Fi. In mid-2002, Australia's ArrayComm (www.arraycomm.com) developed what it called personal broadband. Working with chipset partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (www.tsmc.com) and base station provider Kyocera (www.kyocera.com), ArrayComm began to deploy a trial iBurst network around Sydney. By the first quarter of 2004, the first commercial iBurst service was offered. Today, iBurst provides mobile wireless broad- band Internet coverage throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. Future plans include the enhancement of existing coverage areas as well as rollouts throughout Perth and Adelaide. When the network rollout has been completed, iBurst promises to provide coverage to over 75% of Australia's popula- WMANs tion and to mo
