WiMAX

WiMAX the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunication technology that provides wireless data in a variety of ways, from point to point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also called wireless MAN. The name "WiMAX" was created by the WiMAX forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL" (also to High speed packet access)
