What is WiMAX?

image How WiMAX Works

WiMAX is a wireless digital communications system, also known as IEEE 802.16. WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations. WiMAX can be used for wireless networking in much the same way as the more common WiFi protocol.

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).

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 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 IEEE 802.16 standard defines the technical features of the communications protocol.  The WiMAX Forum offers a means of testing manufacturer's equipment for compatibility, as well as an industry group dedicated to fostering the development and commercialization of the technology.

Taiwan WiMAX industry moves another step forward to commercial operations.  The Taiwanese government as well as the private sector are likely to spend around $3 billion to develop WiMAX technology in the country by 2012, according to a research carried out by research institute MIC (Market Intelligence Centre). The research suggests that the worldwide market for WiMAX is likely to create $75.5 billion in production value by 2012.
