WiMAX Technology

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a telecommunications technology (IEEE 802.16d) that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes.

WiMAX is very different from Wi-Fi and traditional microwave technologies. WiMAX is a second-generation protocol that allows for more efficient bandwidth use, interference avoidance, and is intended to allow higher data rates over longer distances.

Multi-subscriber user capacity of 1-10Mbps is routinely delivered with individual capacity up to 70Mbps. Current shoreline capacity and backhaul capacity approach 1gigabit service per tower access area.

WiMAX uses a scheduling algorithm which is substantially more stable. In addition to being stable under overload and over-subscription, the 802.16 scheduling algorithm is more bandwidth efficient and allows control of QoS parameters.

WiMAX base stations can reach a radius of up to 30 miles per site. The increased range due to newer technologies means that the potential is there to cover huge tracts of land or sea.
