Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX)
WiMAX is a telecom protocol that provides fixed and completely mobile net access. The existing revision of WiMAX supplies up to 40 Mbit/s and the IEEE 802.16m update is anticipated to offer about 1 Gbit/s fixed speeds.The name "WiMAX" was made by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to push compliance and interoperability of the standard.
WiMAX pertains to interoperable implementations of the IEEE 802.16 wireless-networks standard (by the WiMAX Forum), in similarity with Wi-Fi, which alludes to interoperable implementations of the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standard (ratified by the Wi-Fi coalition).The WiMAX Forum authentication permits sellers to sell their hardware as WiMAX (Fixed or Mobile) certificated, so making sure a quantity of interoperability with other authorized products, so long as they fit the same profile. The IEEE 802.16 standard forms the basis of WiMAX and is often referred to colloquially as WiMAX, Fixed WiMAX, Mobile WiMAX, "802.16d" and "802.16e."
Clarifications of the formal names are as follow:
* 802.16-2004 is also called as 802.16d, which makes reference to the working party which has developed that standard. It is commonly called "Fixed WiMAX," since it has no support for mobility.
* 802.16e-2005, frequently shortened to 802.16e, is a change to 802.16-2004. It introduced support for mobility, among other stuff and so it is called as "Mobile WiMAX".
Mobile WiMAX is the WiMAX incarnation which has the most commercial interest to date and is being actively deployed in numerous places. Mobile WiMAX is also the foundation of future revisions of WiMAX. WiMAX kit exists in 2 forms. WiMAX base stations are installed by service suppliers to deploy the technology in a coverage area.
WiMAX must be installed at the home or other receiving location. As WiMAX develops, these antennas will change from being mounted outside, to smaller variations set up inside, and then eventually to inbuilt versions integrated within mobile PCs. Like other kinds of Web access, customers will subscribe and pay a reoccurring charge to connect to the Web through WiMAX services.
