WiMAX is one of the emerging wireless broadband transmission standards. Its signal coverage, upload and download rate, and bandwidth efficiency is better than traditional wireless networks. It can be the last mile for where the cable and DSL networks cannot be reached. Because of its characteristic of broadband access, the possible applications are of a wide range, such as web browsing and VOIP for low bandwidth requirement, as well as video conference, streaming media, and media content download for high bandwidth requirement. All the abovementioned applications can be implemented on any devices which support WiMAX access. At present, ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute) in Taiwan establishes world-first WiMAX application Lab - MTWAL (M-Taiwan WiMAX Application Lab), which is approved by WiMAX Forum, and supporting an open space for world-wide WiMAX application developers and equipment testers. In this paper, we introduce several kinds of WiMAX applications for IP video surveillance that are currently available on the ITRI MTWAL.
