WiMAX is a technology standard for long-range wireless networking. WiMAX equipment exists in two basic forms - base stations, installed by service providers to deploy the technology in a coverage area, and receivers, installed in clients. WiMAX supports several networking usage models:
1. a means to transfer data across an Internet service provider network, commonly called backhaul)
2. a form of fixed wireless broadband Internet access, replacing satellite Internet service
3. a form of mobile Internet access that at one time competed directly with LTE technology
While at one time WiMAX was envisioned to be a leading form of Internet communications across all three of the areas above, it's adoption has been limited.
WiMAX is developed by an industry consortium, overseen by a group called the WiMAX Forum. The Forum certifies WiMAX equipment to ensure it meets the technology standards. Its technology is based on the IEEE 802.16 set of wide-area communications standards. WiMAX signals can function over a distance of several miles (kilometers) with data rates reaching up to 75 megabits per second (Mb/s). A number of wireless signaling options exist ranging anywhere from the 2 GHz range up to 66 GHz.
Primarily due to its much higher cost, WiMAX is not a replacement for Wi-Fi home networking or Wi-Fi hotspot technologies. _________________ computer training |

When you are looking for some dependable WiMAX Network Service Providers, you will not have to look too deep since most are practically the same. _________________ free live chat software |

Connecting to the Internet wirelessly has become common thanks to advances in cell phone technology. Third-generation (3G) wireless technology allows for simultaneous data and voice use. Fourth generation (4G) is currently being developed and will dramatically increase connection speeds. _________________ satellite broadband |
