    Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a family of wireless
    broadband communication standards based on the IEEE 802.16 set of standards, which
    provide physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) options.

     IEEE 802.16 is a series of wireless broadband standards written by the Institute of


    Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE Standards Board
    established a working group in 1999 to develop standards for broadband for
    wireless metropolitan area networks.
     The WiMAX Forum was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and
    interoperability, including the definition of system profiles for commercial vendors.
     WiMAX was initially designed to provide 30 to 40 megabit-per-second data rates
    with the 2011 update providing up to 1 Gbit/s for fixed stations.

    Terminology
    WiMAX was sometimes referred to as "Wi-Fi on steroids and can be used for a number
    of applications including broadband connections, cellular backhaul, hotspots, etc. It is
    similar to Long-range Wi-Fi, but it can enable usage at much greater distances.

    Uses of WiMAX
     Providing portable mobile broadband connectivity across cities and countries through
    various devices.
     Providing data, telecommunications (VoIP) and IPTV services (triple play).
     Providing Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan.
     Smart grids and metering.

    Integration with an IP-based
    network

    The WiMAX Forum has proposed an


    architecture that defines how a WiMAX
    network can be connected with an IP
    based core network, which is typically
    chosen by operators that serve as
    Internet Service Providers (ISP);
    Nevertheless, the WiMAX BS provide
    seamless integration capabilities with
    other types of architectures as with
    packet switched Mobile Networks.
