Wireless market has gained more popularity in the market due to the congestion and poor network management. The bandwidth management aids the smooth usage of the wireless network hence being a major concern for most of the organizations and network operators worldwide.

Machine to machine communication is expected to increase in the coming years due to which this market is expected to have a growth in the forecast period. It is used to launch new capabilities via API (application programming interface) by most of the network operators.

Policy Management Software Market: Application Insight

The policy management software market is segmented on the basis of application into Fixed Line Broadband Networks, Cable Broadband Networks, 3G Broadband Networks, WiMAX, and Long-Term Evolution Mobile Networks.

Fixed-line broadband networks are used for all the wired networks that are used for data and voice communications. With the use of a cable, a fixed line can be seen as a connection to an end customer. It is divided into the core network and access network. The access network allows many individual terminals whereas the core network lines predominantly have a high bandwidth for connecting computers to each other.

A cable uses the same infrastructure as a cable television. The cable internet access supplies network edge connectivity from the internet service provider to an end user. The two prominent forms of residential internet access are cable TV network and telecommunications network.

The 3G broadband network is the third generation of wireless telecommunication technology. It is used in mobile devices and mobile telecommunications networks which comply with such international devices. Also, it is used in voice telephony, fixed wireless internet access, mobile internet access, video calls and mobile TV.

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a wireless communication standard which provides media access control (MAC) and multiple physical layer (PHY) options. It was created by the WiMAX forum to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard.

LTE Mobile Network is a high-speed wireless communication for mobile devices and data terminals. It uses a different radio interface to increase the capacity and speed for the core network improvement. Only multi-band phones are able to use the LTE in all countries where it is supported as different LTE frequencies for different countries.
