WiMAX
NOTE:
WiMAX is not supported on all computers.
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a standards-
based telecommunications technology that provides wireless data.
WiMAX enables delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an
alternative to wired broadband like cable and DSL. It is based on the IEEE
802.16 standard, which is also called WirelessMAN and provides fixed and
laptop connectivity without the need for direct line-of-sight with a base
station. Mobile wireless broadband support is expected in the near future.
