What is the WiMAX technology?
Definition: WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access.
What happened to WiMAX technology?
While WiMAX did make it in the 4G cell phone business thanks to Sprint and some carriers outside the U.S., most other and all the major carriers adopted LTE. Eventually even Sprint has been changing its networks over to LTE and phasing out its WiMAX phone systems. The last will go off line sometime this year.
What is the full form of WIMX?
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)
How can I get WiMAX?
What do I need to get WiMAX connection? You will need your desktop or laptop computer with Ethernet card and the wireless device i.e. CPE (Customer Premise Equipment). CPE can be purchased from BSNL or can be provided on monthly rent as you apply for WiMAX connection.
What is WiMAX technology?
WiMAX technology is a wireless broadband communications technology based around the IEE 802.16 standard providing high speed data over a wide area. The letters of WiMAX stand for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (AXess), and it is a technology for point to multipoint wireless networking.
How many mega bits per second is WiMAX?
The Wimax technology offers around 72 Mega Bits per second without any need for the cable infrastructure. Wimax technology is based on Standard that is IEEE 802.16, it usually also called as Broadband Wireless Access.
What is WiMAX™ Release 2?
WiMAX™ Release 2.0 is the next evolutionary step, specified in IEEE 802.16m and also referred to as Advanced WiMAX™. A further increase in data rate, compared to IEEE 802.16e, will be achieved with higher channel bandwidth and up to 4×4 MIMO technology, making this standard also a candidate for the IMT Advanced technology.
What is the range of WiMAX broadband?
802.16d is able to provide data rates of up to 75 Mbps and as a result it is ideal for fixed, DSL replacement applications as WiMAX broadband. It may also be used for backhaul where the final data may be distributed further to individual users. Cell radii are typically up to 75 km.
