WiMAX (802.16) White Papers

Wireless Gets a Boost From WiMAX

Overview Ratified just a year ago, the 802.16a standard will soon make possible "last mile" broadband wireless access in areas that are too remote or too difficult or too expensive to reach with wire or fiber. It will also serve as Wi-Fi backhaul, enabling quick and easy connection of Wi-Fi hot spots to the Internet when there's no convenient access to a wireline. Eventually, it will enable notebook computers and PDAs to connect directly to metropolitan-area networks (MANs) that provide geographically continuous wireless coverage.
