WiMAX (Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access) is an exciting and unique technology that delivers high-speed, broadband fixed and mobile services wirelessly to large areas with much less infrastructure than is needed today.

• Two variants of the WiMAX standard: Fixed and Mobile
• Fixed WiMAX, based on IEEE 802.16-2004, is ideally suited for delivering the last mile for fixed wireless broadband access services such as DSL or cable modem. Learn more about how Netago Wireless and the Special Areas Board leveraged Nortel's Fixed WiMAX solution.
• Mobile WiMAX, based on IEEE 802.16-2005, supports both fixed and mobile applications with improved performance and capacity while adding full mobility.
• Next-generation wireless technology that delivers significant improvements in speed, throughput and capacity
• Can be applied to a host of different applications offered by a range of different providers
