WiMax

Type of wireless technology that provides wireless internet service over longer distances than standard Wi-Fi. WiMax is based on standard IEEE 802.16 technology and can provide broadband wireless access up to 30 miles. WiMax uses fixed and mobile stations to provide users with access to high-speed voice, data, and Internet connectivity. WiMax technology has not been widely accepted by the technology community, but its popularity continues to grow as businesses and consumers seek out better ways to constantly stay connected.
