WiMax

WiMax is the acronym for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, a standards-based wireless technology that provides high-throughput broadband connections over long distances. WiMAX can be used for a number of applications, including “last mile” broadband connections, hotspots and cellular backhaul, and high-speed enterprise connectivity for business.
Perhaps the most telling deployments for WiMax will be for the WiBro mobile derivative: WiBro has South Korean government support with the requirement for each carrier to spend over $1 billion US for deployments. The Koreans sought to develop WiBro as a regional and potentially international alternative to 3.5-4G systems. But given the lack of self developed momentum as a standard, WiBro has joined WiMAX and agreed to harmonize their standards.
