  • Abstract
    Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) may provide connectivity for the First Responders Community (FRC) in the field responding to a disaster to be used as a public safety network. This study proposes WiMAX as a network for Amman-Jordan based on a business model that utilizes government assets along with private sector participation. While this network may have several applications, the focus of this study will be on public safety applications.
