WiMax: Wireless Networks Extended

Overview IEEE 802.16 is a standard for broadband wireless access, also known as WiMax. There are many advantages of systems based on 802.16, the ability to provide service, even in areas that are hard for wired infrastructure to reach and the ability to overcome the physical limitations of traditional wired infrastructure. The propagation of WLANs is driving the demand for broadband connectivity back to the Internet. Systems built on 802.16 standard represent an easily deployable third pipe capable of delivering flexible and affordable last-mile broadband access for millions of subscribers in homes and businesses throughout the world.
