Review on BSNL Wimax in Kerala

I took BSNL WiMax ( Mobile WiMAX 802.16e) connection in September 2010 from Panampilly Nagar , Ernakulam. 

Here's the schematic diagram of the connection :

I opted for outdoor CPE , since with indoor CPE was not getting good signals when BSNL folks did the feasibility study.



They posioned the CPE towards the BSNL tower.  Once you connect the CPE to your PC using the LAN cable , you can enter the account credentials in the modem status page ( 192.168.1.1). Once after successful authentication , the status page will look like this



You will get a good connection if the RSSI value between -50dBm & -65 dBm and CINR value of 18 to 25. With above setup I was getting almost 2 Mbps download speed with torrents.

I am very happy with the Wimax xonnection. Moreover you can transfer the connection anywhere in Kerala ( yeah.. Roaming allowed ).
