The 802.16e version of WiMAX also incorporates support for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology as well as Beamforming and Advanced Antenna Systems (AAS), which are all "smart" antenna technologies that significantly improve gain of WiMAX systems as well as throughput.
The 802.16e standard is being utilized primarily in licensed spectrum for pure mobile applications. Many firms have elected to develop the 802.16e standard exclusively for both fixed and mobile versions. The 802.16e version of WiMAX is the closest comparable technology to the emerging LTE mobile wireless standard. Or rather, it is more proper to say that LTE is the most comparable to Mobile WiMAX in terms of capabilities as well as technology. The two competing technologies are really very much alike technically.

WiMAX is an IP based, wireless broadband access technology that provides performance similar to 802.11/Wi-Fi networks with the coverage and QOS (quality of service) of cellular networks. WiMAX is also an acronym meaning "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX).
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).

The IEEE 802.16 defines the wireless metropolitan area network (MAN) technology known as WiMAX. It includes 2 sets of standards, the 802.16-2004 or 802.16d and the 802.16-2005 or 802.16e. It provides the last connection in the MAN where DSL, Cable, and other broadband networks are too expensive or are not available. The 802.16e standard adds OFDMA 2K-FFT, 512-FFT and 128-FFT capability. The 802.16e version of WiMAX also integrates support for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology as well as Beamforming and Advanced Antenna Systems (AAS), which are all "smart" antenna technologies. They significantly improve gain of WiMAX systems as well as throughput. The IEEE 802.16 Protocol is a 4 layer system consisting of Convergence, MAC, Transmission and physical.

WiMAX is an adopted global standard for low-cost, high performance wireless broadband networks. One of the main goals of WiMAX is to make high quality, long-range data and voice communications affordable. The range of WiMax is several miles depending on the frequency and topography. With a lower investment in infrastructure, it is now possible to profitably serve rural areas with lower population densities, as well as economically depressed areas in cities. With higher data rates, improved non-line-of-sight service and enhanced quality of service WiMax is the future.

Many standards are often referred to as Wimax (802.16)or broadband access standards just like Wi-Fi. Technically, Wimax supports IEEE 802.16 wimax specifications and will continue to developments as the specifications evolve, but other standards have also been produced based on the 802.16 specification. Some of them are extensive enough to get attention by the Wimax Forum, including HiperMAN and WiBro. Wimax (802.16) effectively holds all of Wimax (802.16) standards.
WiMAX: Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Acess, also know a s IEEE name 802.16.

Operates like WiFi but has greater distance, higher speeds, & more users. A two part system. !. WiMAX tower and WiMAX receiver.
WiMAX tower can transmit up to 3000 sq. miles or 8000 sq.km.
Only barrier is that the placement of the tower.

This will have a graet effect on the poor and wealthy alike. For the poor cellphone bill will drop in price because the long distance callls will be cheaper.
As for the wealthy would benfit from laptop connections reliability during his or hers commute or buisness trips.

WiMax is intended for metropolitan wireless networks (MAN). WiMax can provide wireless internet up to 30 miles on a fixed station, 10 miles on a mobile station. WiMax can also support both licensed and unlicensed frequencies, giving it more freedom. Many developed countries, even rural areas with their infrastructure still in their developing stages might benefit from Wimax.

W.I.M.A.X. is a wireless standard that has the capability to packet switch using dedicated frequencies in the microwave spectrum, similar to wireless N, but also uses a protocol very similar to IP addressing, if not verbatim. WIMAX is best used in a MAN setting, where its coverage can reach maximum saturation, prior to bandwidth choking. However, its large range can cause several security issues in corporate environments as IP and MAC spoofing is still easily possible on a WIMAX network.

WiMax can’t deliver 70 Mbit/s over 31 miles.Like all wireless technology wimax can operate at higher bitrates or over longer distances bot not both. Operating at the maximum range of 31 miles increase bit error rate and thus result in much lower bitrate. In Australia a city wide deployment demostrate that customers at the cell-edge with indoor CPE typically obtain sepeed of around 1-4 Mbit/s, with users closer to the cell site obtaining speed up to30 Mbit/s.

WiMax is the industry for long range wireless networking standard. it deliver high speed internet access to rural areas and not cable or DSL providers. WiMax offers satellite internet service. WiMax uses the IEEE 802.16 WAN communications standard. For WiMax, can reach up to 75 megabits per second depending on what area are you at and also how much signal. WiMax doesn't replace the wi-fi hotspot or any home or office network because of the cost.
