WiMAX Wireless / Networking

WiMAX is a technology standard for long-range wireless networking. WiMAX equipment exists in two basic forms - base stations, installed by service providers to deploy the technology in a coverage area, and receivers, installed in clients. WiMAX supports several networking usage models:
1. a means to transfer data across an Internet service provider network, commonly called backhaul)
2. a form of fixed wireless broadband Internet access, replacing satellite Internet service
3. a form of mobile Internet access that at one time competed directly with LTE technology
While at one time WiMAX was envisioned to be a leading form of Internet communications across all three of the areas above, it's adoption has been limited.

It works without any wire connection rather it uses radio frequency technology associated with radio wave propagation. A device which is Wi-Fi enabled, like  mobile phone, PC, game console,  MP3 player or PDA can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless network connected to the Internet.




Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMAN), smart phones and cellular telephone networks are some types of wireless network.
And in wireless network, Wi-Fi and WiMax are the two popular names.
  Wi-Fi Wireless Network is widely used popular network technology which provides a high speed and internet service. The Wi-Fi internet technology is the registered trademark of Wi-Fi Alliance, the organization that owns the Wi-Fi and it is regarded as the synonyms of WLAN that is based on 802.11 IEEE or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ standards.

WiMax or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is a telecommunication technology that provides cutting edge and next-gen wireless network, data transmission and mobile internet access of high speed. Being the Fourth Generation (4G) Wireless technology, it provides first IP Mobile internet, low-cost and open networks which enables a wide range of devices, such as smartphones, notebook PCs, camcorders, handsets, consumer electronics such as gaming devices, cameras and music players.  Learn how it works  at http://www.intel.com/technology/wimax/demo/works/demo.htm?iid=tech_wimax+demo.
