Abstract:
Nowadays in Iran service providers, are using copper lines in access networks. They rent these lines from a governmental telecommunication company during a complicated and time consuming process. In this thesis, the most common access technologies have been analyzed in order to find an alternative solution for copper lines. Based on the studies in this thesis, it is clear that Wimax technology can be an appropriate solution comparing with Wi-Fi and 3G from the point of quality and speed. The UNIDO methodology has been used in this economical assessment (feasibility study). In this methodology, all the running and fixed costs and revenue as well, have been estimated. In the next step, according to the gathered data, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) have been calculated. IRR in this project is about 52% which is so desirable. So the deployment of Wimax in the access network is feasible. The result of this thesis can accelerate the development of data communications which is considered as an infrastructure of political, economical, cultural and social development
