2. 2 WiMAX Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access
Brand licensed by the WiMax Forum.
“a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL”
WiMAX was seen as more of a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) technology providing a much larger coverage.
Based on IEEE 802.16

21. 21 Will WiMAX displace WiFi? WiMAX will not replace WiFi completely, but work TOGETHER
Intel is currently integrating WiMAX and WiFi into a single Centrino chip.
WiFi’s primary role will always be autonomous hotspot service
areas (indoor and outdoor 0 ft. < cell radii <500 ft.).
WiMax will ultimately replace WiFi in large-scale (greater than 1mi.Sq.) commercial and public roles.
