Consumer versus Industrial WLAN - Points of attention

Consumer market

Single Point (1 AP)

Limited Wireless clients

Clients are mostly not

• Industrial

Planning iWLAN Applications

Site Surveys

Planning

• Use it as offline tool

• See the effect of access points

Commissioning / Maintenance

• Us it as online tool

• No iWLAN without preparation

• Us it as online tool

Comparison, very implementation dependend

3G 4G

Data Throughput: Up to 3.1mbps Practically speaking, 3 to 5 mbps but potential estimated at a range of 100 to 300 mbps.

Peak Upload Rate: 50 Mbit/s 500 Mbit/s

Peak Download Rate: 100 Mbit/s 1 Gbit/s

Peak Download Rate: 100 Mbit/s 1 Gbit/s

Switching Technique: packet switching packet switching, message switching

Network Architecture: Wide Area Cell Based Integration of wireless LAN and Wide area.

Services And Applications: CDMA 2000, UMTS, EDGE etc

Wimax2 and LTE-Advance

Forward error correction (FEC):

3G uses Turbo codes for error correction.

Concatenated codes are used for error corrections in 4G.
