If you travel to Alor Star these few weeks you will notice there is something really new to us. P1 Wimax banner and streamer are all over the city. Is it another hypermarket? Or is it another tech fair? No. It's the latest technology that hit our country. P1 pioneer WiMax operator has just broaden their coverage area to Alor Star & Sungai Petani, Kedah. What is WiMax?
WiMAX, meaning 'Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access', is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from point-to-point links to portable internet access. The technology provides up to 75 Mb/s symmetric broadband speed without the need for cables. The technology is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard (also called Broadband Wireless Access). The name "WiMAX" was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL".

WiMAX is a term coined to describe standard, interoperable implementations of IEEE 802.16 wireless networks, similar to the way the term Wi-Fi is used for interoperable implementations of the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standard. However, WiMAX is very different from Wi-Fi in the way it works.
How does it works?
We can say that WiMax is something like Wi-Fi, but WiMax at higher connection speed and also cover more nearly 50km radius from its base station.
Below are the flow of how it works
1: From the operator to the base stations
2:The modem,
3: All connection flow
How fast is this connection?
This is what we can expect from WiMax. I hope by mid 2009, Perlis will be in the coverage area. A few more operator will join in soon. This will make the internet segment in Malaysia will flourished. So, there will be no more single player.What are the packages that P1 offers us?
Well, sadly enough it will not be available soon for us in Perlis. But below are the shots of package that I manage to grab from P1 homepage.
