Quantum offers complete turnkey WiMAX solutions to rural areas in order to encourage the growth of WiMAX networks in the United States.

The emergence of the 3.65 spectrum by regulators has opened up a new industry allowing rural operators to build their WiMAX model around the new spectrum.
Quantum is filling a very serious need in the marketplace allowing itself to be the leading provider to rural operators for WiMAX equipment and value added services in an effort to assist these operators in deploying their networks quickly, efficiently and economically.
WiMAX, which stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a 4G telecommunications technology that provides wireless transmission of data on the 802.16 wireless standard. WiMAX is an enhanced version of wireless Internet, offering wider coverage, higher speed, and lower costs than the current Wi-Fi services. Wi-Fi connections transmit up to 54 megabits per second and cover a limited area of 100 feet; WiMAX connections far surpass this standard with a speed of up to 70 megabits per second and a 30-mile coverage radius from the transmitting base station.

The newly available 3.65 GHz WiMAX spectrum allows for low-cost wireless deployments, and a low barrier of entry for network operators.

Obama’s Stimulus Package May Aid Rural WiMax Effort

Ari Zoldan on March 3, 2009

After signing a historic $787 billion bill that will provide funds to a host of public work programs, President Obama’s stimulus package will also benefit initiatives for the expansion of broadband wireless technologies to rural areas of the United States. Adding to the uproar over the signing of the bill from Democrats and Republicans alike the proposed allocation of $7.2 billion for wireless technology improvements is also receiving objections from critics that are cynical that the bill will benefit the industry.
The demur most critics have for this bill stems from their lack of faith in the federal governmental agencies that will most likely be heading projects for rural WiMax. They contend that every home in a rural area will not necessarily seek wireless service, and that the cost of bringing these services to rural areas will be quite hefty.
At the same time, supporters of the spending legislation welcome any and all companies that are willing to expand wireless services to their area. WiMax service is cost effective and supporters, think the spending legislation is a beacon for revamping the technological scope of the entire country with WiMAX technology. Not only would the $7.2 billion help underdeveloped areas, but with the flailing economy, it would also create much-needed jobs and help boost industry stocks. With the market hitting below 6,800 for the first time since 1997, any positive activity would be welcomed.
It seems likely that the future of the WiMax industry in the U.S will be aided by generous spending of the Obama administration. With WiMax the best suited technology to help begin these efforts, companies like Quantum Networks will have an integral part in the expansion of WiMAX in the United States.

Ari Zoldan: Why the Telecommunications World Is Desperately Trying To Keep Him Quiet

Ari Zoldan on January 21, 2009

wimax city

With impending success and a strong conviction for his company, Ari Zoldan has the telecommunications world on pause. They wait as he and other major companies press play on WiMax’s ultimate launch. Ari Zoldan, President and CEO of Quantum Networks, LLC, a WiMax equipment and service provider, has certainly shaken and rattled the telecommunications wireless world into a query; and he’s just getting started.

Wimax, otherwise known as the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless data in a variety of informative ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access.[ check out our Wimax glossary for more basic information]

Practically speaking, WiMax is a similar technology to WiFi, only it’s much more advanced. WiMax works through a tower that will establish microwave connections with its users. This tower operates in a similar way as a cellular phone tower, only with WiMax, the tower is connected to the Internet through a high-speed cable. This ‘Invisible Internet,’ so to speak, allows for a network within the radius of 50 kilometers–much greater than WiFi, whose radius extends only up to 100 meters.

Wifi versus Wimax

WiMax differs from WiFi in that WiFi is only accessible in select ‘hot spot’ locations, such as Starbucks or one’s home. WiMax is shaking and changing the world, in that it will make the world into one gigantic hot spot. This will allow people to access Internet anywhere, and even have better reception on their cellular phones. It will leave the world forgetting that incommodious slogan, “Can you hear me now?”
This technology is taking the world by storm, and will provide countless advantages for its users. Since WiMax works through eliminating the use of cables, it will be beneficial in large areas such as airports, college campuses, and large corporations. Now businessmen, university students, teachers and the like will be able to able to travel, use laptops and even iPods at their discretion without ever distorting their bodies in a series of ways, to pick up on the local WiFi.

Moreover, WiMax beats broadband wireless in that it will be able to reach rural areas, where there are currently no wired connections. WiMax will be a mass merger, bringing the wireless world together at a fraction of the cost, which will not only benefit everyone’s wallet, but everyone’s connectivity as well.
