Wi-Fi (802.11) White Papers

IEEE 802.16 Standards Crystallize the Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Industry

Overview The IEEE 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access is developing the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN standards for Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks. These standards, covering licensed and license-exempt bands from 2-66 GHz worldwide, are creating a firm foundation for the development of the industry. IEEE 802.16 addresses "first-mile" applications of wireless technology to link commercial and residential buildings to high-rate core networks and thereby provide access to those networks.
