Diseño y simulación de una arquitectura de red para mejorar la conexión a internet en una zona de baja densidad en Colombia, usando tecnología WiMAX

Abstract

WiMAX technology proposes wireless communication in the near future. Currently its characteristics are attracting attention. For example, it transmits information at a speed of 75 Mbps and a radius of up to 50 kilometers. This distance is very easy to cover buildings in any city in the world. The high bandwidth recommended for each WiMAX transmission channel makes one consider the large number of products that can be provided based on this technology. In fact, it is the new face of wireless communication and is necessary to meet the global demand in this field. The present work aims to make use of WiMAX technology to generate an improvement in the network currently implemented in municipalities of Colombia. The above, trans a diagnosis of the network in the area, the design and simulation of a network architecture following the OSI model. As a result of this project, we have the design of a simulated network in Packet Racer with which it is expected to obtain at least 5% more efficiency in the network, a reduction in costs in the price of the service and expand the network coverage in the study area; This network was stable and with good response and, although it is saturated, it works better than the network present in the area.
