WiMAX Forum logo WiMAX base station equipment with a sector antenna and wireless modem on top. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a family of wireless broadband communication standards based on the IEEE 802.16 set of standards, which provide physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) options.
Although the 802.16 family of standards is officially called WirelessMAN in IEEE, it has been commercialized under the name "WiMAX" (from "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access") by the WiMAX Forum industry alliance. The Forum promotes and certifies compatibility and interoperability of products based on the IEEE 802.16 standards.
IEEE 802.16 - called fixed WiMAX because of static connection without handover. IEEE 802.16e - called mobile WiMAX because it allows handovers between base stations. IEEE 802.16m - advanced air interface with data rates of 100 Mbit/s mobile and 1 Gbit/s fixed.
Please read the length guidelines and help move details into the article's body. ( July 2024 ) A wide variety of different wireless data technologies exist, some in direct competition with one another, others designed for specific applications.
In the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN protocols (such as Wi-Fi), a MAC frame is constructed of common fields (which are present in all types of frames) and specific fields (present in certain cases, depending on the type and subtype specified in the first octet of the frame).
Local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) is a broadband wireless access technology originally designed for digital television transmission (DTV). It was conceived as a fixed wireless, point-to-multipoint technology for utilization in the last mile. [1]
Max Telecom has license for operating the telecommunication services through a network of "point-to-multipoint" with national coverage, the service is also known as WiMAX. This type of network allows fixed and mobile services, including Internet access, virtual private networks , voice services, video services and IPTV. The company is the first ...
