What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology, which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless using radio waves.
Allows you to access the Internet while on the move ; you can remain online while moving from one area to another, without a disconnection or loss in coverage
IEEE 802.11 Standard
In 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) drafted the 802.11 standard for wireless local area networking.
In 1999, networking hardware companies accepted the standard and began manufacturing products using the 802.11b protocol which operated in the 2.4 GHz range and was capable of transmitting at speeds of 11 Mbps.
The 802.11a protocol was also released in 1999, operating at 5 GHz with transmissions speeds of 54 Mbps, but its cost was high.
What is a Hotspot ?
A Hotspot is any location where Wi-Fi network access is made publicly available.
Hotspots are equipped with a Broadband Internet connection, and one or more Access Points that allow users to access the Internet wirelessly.
Hotspots can be setup in any public location that can support an Internet connection.
How a Wi-Fi network works?
A Wi-Fi connection works
through a transmitting antenna,
which is usually connected to a
DSL or cable Internet connection.
The antenna on the router will
then beam radio signals through
a specific range. Another antenna,
which is on the laptop or personal
computer, receives the signal.

Fourth-generation cellular networks (4G) are projected to provide speeds up to 100 Mbps for mobile users and 1 Gbps for stationary users. 4G networks will rely entirely on packet-switching and help deliver broadband wireless internet access. While 3G networks combine circuit-switching and packet-switching, 4G will focus only on packet-switching for faster data transmission. WiMAX is a key 4G wireless technology that provides last mile wireless broadband as an alternative to cable/DSL. Mobile WiMAX will offer broadband speeds with full mobility like cellular networks.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Now let’s talk about a revolutionary new device from CLEAR - the CLEAR Spot Personal Hotspot. This amazing little device allows Wi-Fi enabled devices to access CLEAR’s WiMAX network, and has a four-hour rechargeable battery life (it can also run on AC power). So for a one-time cost of $139, customers can connect their Wi-Fi devices at broadband speeds anywhere within a CLEAR coverage area!
Clearwire Sprint will continue to be the undisputed leader in the 3G-4G space while the new Clearwire (which includes Sprint’s previous 4G business unit XOHM) – with all of its cutting-edge partners – continues to build out a nationwide WiMAX network. Sprint will offer 4G technology which will operate on the Clearwire WiMAX network and will be the ONLY national wireless carrier to do so (through a structure similar to, but more broad than a typical MVNO.) Sprint’s majority ownership in the new Clearwire as well as its partnership with these technology leaders, will enable it to bring its 4G innovations quickly and efficiently to market. Clearwire (including XOHM, Sprint’s previous 4G business unit) has developed (in a consortia with other companies who are not part of Clearwire!) WiMAX and Sprint is harnessing the power of a 4G network now. Most importantly, it’s not just Sprint – there is an ecosystem of other companies that has converged around WiMAX globally: Intel, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, Nokia Siemens, Google, ZTE, Zyxel. Clearwire has partnered with these companies to develop the ecosystem and technology to create the WiMAX infrastructure. XOHM - Sprint’s previous 4G business unit, XOHM, was combined with Clearwire on November 28, 2008. The new Clearwire is continuing to build the fastest mobile broadband network available in the U.S, among all national wireless carriers. With its WiMAX ecosystem, the new Clearwire will provide customers with new wireless data and web services by incorporating WiMAX capabilities in consumer electronic devices and unleashing the Internet from wires and place-based communications. 07/07/10 19:14
When talking about CLEAR’s Mobile Internet solution, we’re usually talking about the Clear USB Modem . This plug-and-play device runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista, and as of August 2009 is also compatible with Mac OS. Note: There are two versions of both Windows XP and Windows Vista out there - a 32-bit (normal) version and a 64-bit version. The different versions are available for different process types. Our Connection Manager supports both versions of both operating systems. Users can go anywhere within CLEAR’s coverage area and experience the same speed and consistency as at home, with up to 4 Mbps (or 6 Mbps with a Pick 2 plan) on the download and up to 500 Kbps on the upload . What differs by plan is the customer’s usage level, which we will discuss in a moment. Note that we will review, demonstrate and practice the installation of the Clear USB Modem on Day Two of this session.
Sprint 4G – the name of Sprint’s WiMAX services. Provides Wi-Fi-like experience in a city-sized hotspot. Sprint is bringing the internet to life with 4G and this dual-mode USB device delivers on our promise to offer an internet experience to a multitude of devices, faster than any other wireless service from a national carrier. WiMAX - Sprint 4G is powered by WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) WiMAX is a Fourth Generation technology (4G) created specifically for internet applications, services, and security, but designed for mobility. It is technology that provides reliable, broadband connections over large areas – even in challenging city environments. Think of it as the mobile version of basic DSL or Cable internet service – a city-sized hot spot! Sprint 4G represents a shift in the way people will use mobile broadband . Businesses, consumers and local governments will be able to extend their Internet experience beyond home or office use. Sprint 4G delivers average speeds of 2-4 Megabits downlink (and 0.5-1.5 Megabits uplink) in service areas. Peak speed of up to 12 Mbps downlink and up to 5 Mbps uplink in some service areas NOTE: Limited by launch cities where service is available
Sprint has 56% ownership of Clearwire who is responsible for building out the 2.5GHz spectrum for the 4G network. The advantage of the 2.5Ghz spectrum is that is delivers 4G signal very broadly in a market covering wider areas in a city. Sprint has also bought a lot of this spectrum with our holding represented on the right chart. The service penetrates one wall deep on most buildings depending on construction materials and glass windows. Some glass windows and construction materials can block RF signals making it difficult for the 4G service to penetrate deeply with in the building. On Sprint’s future product road map will be repeaters and antennas as well as Converged Network Solutions helping address in building penetration issues for 4G service. Verizon and AT&T have selected 700 Mhz as the spectrum they are purchasing to operate 4G on the LTE platform. They have purchased smaller amounts of this spectrum as compared to Sprint/Clearwire so we anticipate they will eventually have capacity and congestion issues like they are today on their 3G network w/ the iPhone. The 700 Mhz spectrum can penetrate up to two walls deep in a building but has more limitations on broader coverage in a city.
More than 1200 WiMAX enabled devices are currently in development. Think there might be an opportunity there?
CLEAR’s goal is to make sure that every customer gets the solution that is right for them. To that end, we offer several different products and many different pricing and service plans – this allows for many different combinations and therefore many different solutions.
Wi-Fi capable devices are becoming ubiquitous, but broad Wi-Fi coverage is not. Efforts by some cities to provide municipal Wi-Fi at low or no cost have fizzled. Bridging the gap between mobile broadband and the many Wi-Fi devices already being used is a great opportunity to strengthen the selling proposition for WiMAX. There are currently close to one billion Wi-Fi enabled devices that cannot connect to the Internet at any given time, because they are located outside the accessible range of a Wi-Fi access point (or “hotspot”). There may be WiMAX and cellular networks present at the device’s location, but they utilize a different radio type than Wi-Fi and therefore are of no use to the device.
