Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX)
WiMAX is a standards based telecommunications technology that
provides wireless data. WiMAX enables delivery of last mile wireless
broadband access as an alternative to wired broadband like cable and
DSL. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also called Wireless
MAN and provides fixed and laptop connectivity without the need for
direct line-of-sight with a base station. Mobile wireless broadband
support is expected in the near future.
