In the quest to gain more efficiency and manage or reduce costs, organizations are looking to business intelligence (BI). Business intelligence helps companies stay ahead of the competition by providing the means for quicker, more accurate, and more informed decision making. Business intelligence solutions optimize processes and resources, improve proactive decision making, and maximize profits.
Bringing together market research reports, business analyst briefings, and technology references into one comprehensive volume, Business Intelligence for Telecommunications bridges the gap between business and technology. While specifically examining the telecommunications sector, this book guides users through developing, administering, and understanding BI technology. It identifies the benefits, applications, and solutions of business intelligence and discusses critical challenges for success.
This book provides clear, in-depth explanations of the business value of new, cutting-edge technologies, along with an introduction to relevant technology. Presenting a range of topics for consultants, researchers, and students, Business Intelligence for Telecommunications explores techno-business aspect of business intelligence and the impact on developments within the telecommunications industry.
Provides clear explanations without technical jargon, followed by in-depth descriptions

Potential of WiMAX is phenomenal, The challenge, then, is how to turn these possibilities into a reality.
“A to Z of WiMAX – The Complete Reference” is a book which is a step in the direction to demystify WiMAX. The key idea behind the book is
“To pin down the technical details that make WiMAX actually work”
In A to Z of WiMAX – The Complete Reference, Deepak Pareek an expert in the field dissects critical issues of compatibility, internetworking, standardization and certification, providing audience an in-depth understanding of the field. The book is divided in four sections each covering an important aspect of subject. The centrepiece of the book is in-depth exploration of the “Disruptive Technology Innovations of WiMAX, WiMAX Deployment Planning and Successful Solution Strategies for all the stake holders”.
SECTION 1 - WiMAX - Overview
WiMAX, or the IEEE 802.16 standard for broadband wireless access, is increasingly gaining in popularity as a technology with significant market potential. This section as the name suggest provides an overview of WiMAX while putting forward concept of “Disruptive Technology”.
SECTION 2 - WiMAX - Cutting Edge
WiMAX is not one technology but a aggregation of many technology innovations bound together by IEEE 802.16 standards effort. This section, as the name suggest provides an overview of WiMAX technology and associated characteristics.
SECTION 3 - WiMAX – Roll Out
This section provides understanding about issues related to WiMAX deployment, which includes discussions about standards, certification and regulation.
SECTION 4 - WiMAX - Planning
This section, the last one of this book, deals with some of the major aspects of planning a successful WiMAX solution. The section deals with three major areas of business planning, deployment planning and future strategy.
The book also incorporates some detailed readings on different topics which have been touched upon in main text but were not covered for sake of larger audience. Annexure provides an overview of these topics.
WiMAX – Bigger than the Biggest Disruption
April 2007, Resource4Business, ISBN:9788190432603
An increasing demand for access to information anytime, anywhere has led to explosive growth in access and wireless technologies. The trend has created new competitive threats as well as new opportunities in every walk of life. The task, then, is to turn possibilities into realities and provide solutions that enable anywhere, anytime access to information and applications at low cost and with a small investment. Taking a coherent and fact-based approach, this book explores the space between what is known and available and what industry needs.
WiMAX: Taking Wireless to the MAX examines the evolution of wireless, broadband, and the wireless broadband landscape with exhaustive coverage of technological advances and evolving topologies. It sets the tone for the journey towards untouched wireless heights - WiMAX. The author builds a complete understanding of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) Technologies, elaborating on past developments, present needs and uses, and future trends and markets. He lays out a road map to the future and articulates present and future applications and models of BWA with focus on WiMAX. The book also provides a detailed discussion on the advanced technologies central to the existence of WiMAX. It presents strategies for building the case for WiMAX and achieving success for the different players, including service providers and equipment manufacturers.
With market value expected to reach $5 billion by 2007 and the endorsement of some of the biggest names in telecommunications, World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is poised to change the broadband wireless landscape. But how much of WiMAX's touted potential is merely hype? Now that several pre-WiMAX networks have been deployed, what are the operators saying about QoS and ROI? How and when will device manufacturers integrate WiMAX into their products? What is the business case for using WiMAX rather than any number of other established wireless alternatives?
Introduces the evolution of the wireless, broadband, and wireless broadband landscape while it discusses several issues and challenges leading to need of WiMAX
Discusses the challenges that have led to the need for WiMAX and explores the techno-economics of WiMAX including Architecture, Standards, Interoperability, Deployment, and Spectrum
Demystifies WiMAX and provides an innovative hypothesis for WiMAX while it explores advanced technologies which are central to existence of WiMAX
Delineates the present WiMAX market, the market players, market drivers, market challenges, and existing spectrum issues and government regulations
