WiMAX (802.16) White Papers

Beyond 3G: HSDPA, WiMax Show Mobile Promise

Overview Getting the most buzz in the mobile-data-access industry right now is 802.16e, the mobile version of WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access). WiMax has significant backing from Intel Corp., and the fixed-point variety, 802.16a, has already been ratified. WiMax, a method of broadband wireless access, uses frequency bands between 2GHz and 11GHz and does not require line of sight to the base station. Each WiMax base station will theoretically have a range of 50 kilometers, serving thousands of concurrent connections under ideal circumstances.
