WiMAX is the next-generation of wireless technology designed to enable pervasive, high-speed mobile Internet access to the widest array of devices including notebook PCs, handsets, smartphones, and consumer electronics such as gaming devices, cameras, camcorders, music players, and more. As the fourth generation (4G) of wireless technology, WiMAX delivers low-cost, open networks and is the first all IP mobile Internet solution enabling efficient and scalable networks for data, video, and voice. As a major driver in the support and development of WiMAX, Intel has designed embedded WiMAX solutions for a variety of mobile devices supporting the future of high-speed broadband on-the-go.
Why WiMAX?
WiMAX is the next evolution in wireless Internet, offering the best available mobile broadband experience with service covering entire metropolitan areas. Just like cell phones have eliminated the need to find a phone booth when you want to make a call, WiMAX frees you from staying within a Wi-Fi area to be connected - turning your city into one big hotspot that delivers strong, fast Internet performance. As service becomes widely available.
Where to get WiMax :
WiMAX service in the U.S. is available from Clear*, a leader in next-generation mobile broadband technology.With service in Baltimore, MD (offered through XOHM*) and Portland, OR, Clear lets you get Internet over areas much, much larger than Wi-Fi. It's the hotspot that goes with you.

WiMAX is a wireless digital communications system, also known as IEEE 802.16, that is intended for wireless "metropolitan area networks". WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3 - 10 miles (5 - 15 km) for mobile stations. In contrast, the WiFi/802.11 wireless local area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300 feet (30 - 100m).
WiMAX can be used for wireless networking in much the same way as the more common WiFi protocol. WiMAX is a second-generation protocol that allows for more efficient bandwidth use, interference avoidance, and is intended to allow higher data rates over longer distances.
The bandwidth and range of WiMAX make it suitable for the following potential applications:
* Connecting Wi-Fi hotspots to the Internet.
* Providing a wireless alternative to cable and DSL for "last mile" broadband access.
* Providing data and telecommunications services.
* Providing a source of Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan. That is, if a business has a fixed and a wireless Internet connection, especially from unrelated providers, they are unlikely to be affected by the same service outage.
* Providing portable connectivity.
WiMAX access was used to assist with communications in Aceh, Indonesia, after the tsunami in December 2004. All communication infrastructure in the area, other than amateur radio, was destroyed, making the survivors unable to communicate with people outside the disaster area and vice versa. WiMAX provided broadband access that helped regenerate communication to and from Aceh.
In addition, WiMAX was used by Intel Corporation to assist the FCC and FEMA in their communications efforts in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.[3]
The IEEE 802.16 standard defines the technical features of the communications protocol.

WiMAX Technology
WiMAX is the next generation of Wi-Fi. WiMAX is wireless digital communications also known as IEEE. IEEE stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or called I-triple-E. IEEE is also defined as the standards related to network management or standards for the data link layer in the OSI reference model. IEEE defines the technical features of the communication protocol. WiMAX is Wi-Fi taken to the next level. WiMAX provides broadband wireless access to much further distances than Wi-Fi and allows higher data rates.

With WiMAX, WiFi-like data rates are easily supported, but the issue of interference is lessened. WiMAX operates on both licensed and non-licensed frequencies, providing a regulated environment and viable economic model for wireless carriers

WiMAX is short for Worldwide Inter-operability for Microwave Access, and it also goes by the IEEE name 802.16. It is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. It is the next generation of Wi-Fi. WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles for fixed stations, and 3 - 10 miles for mobile stations. In contrast, the WiFi/802.11 wireless local area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300 feet.

WiMAX, meaning Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,and it also goes by the IEEE name 802.16. WiMAX has the potential to do to broadband Internet access what cell phones have done to phone access. In the same way that many people have given up their "land lines" in favor of cell phones, WiMAX could replace cable and DSL services, providing universal Internet access just about anywhere you go. WiMAX will also be as painless as WiFi -- turning your computer on will automatically connect you to the closest available WiMAX antenna.
The bandwidth and range of WiMAX make it suitable for the following potential applications:Connecting Wi-Fi hotspots to the Internet.Providing a wireless alternative to cable and DSL for "last mile" broadband access.Providing data and telecommunications services.Providing a source of Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan.
