Open up New ways to minimize the distances between wireless networks

WiMAX is the abbreviation of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. This new wireless technology is based on standards of IEEE 802.16, so to bring a greater broadband speed and to give a chance of cheap communication over the wireless network. WiMAX has given a great boost to technology; being a provider of true speed for communication.

WiMAX consists of two major applications one is called Fixed WiMAX and other is called Mobile WiMAX. The purpose of first type is to enhance the communication speed of the home users and business officials, where a communication of point to multiple nodes is done. Other type of WiMAX is concerned with the cellular phones and their full mobile utility. Both of these technologies are designed keeping in mind users friendliness, high speed, low cost and large turnover.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) is embedded in Mobile WiMAX. OFDMA adds some useful features to this modern application, which include high throughput, support to advanced antennas and great performance. Such features are not seen in the existing wireless communication technology implemented over wide area networks.

This technology is designed to facilitate laptop users to connect with World Wide Web, without having a physical connection. WiMAX is launched to convince the users of cable and DSL to go for WiMAX, which is a best alternate. This latest technology is fulfilling all the requirements of what is needed by a wireless network.

Some of the enhanced features of WiMAX are listed below

  1. It offers best ever high telecommunication services.
  2. It helps in making connection between Wi-Fi hotspots
  3. It offers traveling connections; to be used even if you are traveling in a plane.
  4. A best substitute of cable and DSL in terms of speed and throughput.
