Formed in March 2003, the Wireless Broadband Alliance was created to drive the adoption of wireless broadband technologies and services around the world by developing a common commercial, technical and marketing framework for wireless network interoperability. Its goal is to develop a global alliance of wireless providers that can truly deliver services that users can trust. It aims to provide a consistent customer experience and reliability for wireless broadband users worldwide. To facilitate commercial roaming implementations between its member operators, the alliance has developed WRIX (Wireless Roaming Intermediary Exchange), a modularised standard service specification that won the Wireless Broadband Innovation 2007 award in the Best Wi-Fi Product / Service segment.
The Wireless Broadband Alliance is formed by pioneers in the wireless broadband field, encompassing major players in the telecommunications field. Collectively, the Wireless Broadband Alliance operates over 85,000 wireless hotspots across 26 service providers around the world
WireIE Opens New Wireless Broadband Division in Canada
WireIE, a company providing professional services and innovative solutions for the wireless network operator has started the all new “eWire Broadband” a wireless broadband services division meant to attract wholesale Tier 1 and Tier 2 carrier markets.
The company says the new division, eWire Broadband, will design, build and operate secure high-availability broadband wireless infrastructures in under-served areas of Canada.
They aim to serve the growing demand for reliable, high-speed Ethernet based services for the health care sector, utility and a number of commercial sectors that are ideally suited to wireless-based access solutions using both licensed and unlicensed microwave radio spectrum.
WireIE also plans to provide wireless access solutions to areas where only low-speed, "legacy" copper-based data services are typically available and ensures to bring previously underserved regions of Canada to the same technology level as their larger city counterparts.
“I am extremely proud to offer eWire’s outstanding white label managed wholesale solutions to meet the growing demand of high speed Internet, and extend its market reach”, said Robert Barlow, President & CEO of WireIE Holdings International Inc.
WireIE also enjoys a solid footing in the design, deployment and optimization of GSM and CDMA networks. It also incorporates CarbonVIX -carbon-reducing power systems into its wireless network solutions.
CarbonVIX has been developed to meet the needs of Telecom Carriers looking to optimize the use of electric power from traditional sources and/or incorporate the latest in renewable energy technology.
Recently, WireIE has signed a reseller agreement for ’s Enterprise Carbon Management (ECM) software. The e3 ECM solution allows companies to effectively measure monitor and verify their carbon footprint, thus enabling carbon reduction strategies to work effectively.
The inclusion of e3 Solutions into WireIE’s carbon reduction strategy for the telecommunications industry will identify and quantify plans to reduce carbon at the enterprise level. Both WireIE and e3 Solutions use certified carbon offsets in order to reduce their carbon footprint.

Mobile wireless broadband
Wireless broadband technologies also include new services from companies such as Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T Mobility, which allow a more mobile version of this broadband access. Consumers can purchase a PC card, laptop card, or USB equipment to connect their PC or laptop to the Internet via cell phone towers. This type of connection would be stable in almost any area that could also receive a strong cell phone connection. These connections can cost more for portable convenience as well as having speed limitations in all but urban environments
Wireless broadband
Wireless Broadband is a fairly new technology that provides high-speed wireless internet and data network access over a wide area.
Technology and speeds
Few WISPs provide download speeds of over 100 Mbit/s; most broadband wireless access services are estimated to have a range of 50 km (30 miles) from a tower Technologies used include LMDS and MMDS, as well as heavy use of the ISM bands and one particular access technology is being standardized by IEEE 802.16, also known as WiMAX. WiMAX is highly popular in Europe but has not met full acceptance in the United States because cost of deployment does not meet return on investment figures. In 2005 the Federal Communications Commission adopted a Report and Order that revised the FCC’s rules to open the 3650 MHz band for terrestrial wireless broadband operations On November 14, 2007 the Commission released Public Notice DA 07-4605 in which the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced the start date for licensing and registration process for the 3650-3700 MHz bandInitially, Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) were only found in rural areas not covered by cable or DSL These early WISPs would employ a high-capacity T-carrier, such as a T1 or DS3 connection, and then broadcast the signal from a high elevation, such as at the top of a water tower. To receive this type of Internet connection, consumers mount a small dish to the roof of their home or office and point it to the transmitter. Line of sight is usually necessary for WISPs operating in the 2.4 and 5GHz bands with 900MHz offering better NLOS performance
