WiMAX Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access
WiMAXTechnology • WiMAX (World Interoperability for Microwave Access), based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, is expected to enable true broadband speeds over wireless networks at a cost point to enable mass market adoption. WiMAX is the only wireless standard today that has the ability to deliver true broadband speeds and help make the vision of pervasive connectivity a reality.
Wireless architecture • Point-to-point (P2P) • Point-to-Multipoint (PMP)
Point-to-point (P2P) • Point to point is used where there are two points of interest: one sender and one receiver.
Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) • Point-to-multipoint is synonymous with distribution. One base station can service hundreds of dissimilar subscribers in terms of bandwidth and services offered.

Properties of WiMAX • Speed • Service • Capacity • Qos-Quality of Service • Security
WiMAX is not Wi-Fi • Where Wi-Fi covers an office or coffee shop, WiMAX covers a city
