WiMAX represent the next generation of WiFi, or Wireless networking technology that will connect you to the Internet at faster speeds and from much longer ranges than current wireless technology allows.
WiMAX promises up to a ten (10) mile range without wires, broadband speeds without cable or T1, handles "last mile" access in remote areas, at affordable technology.
WiMAX offer the following benefits:
competitive with DSL and Cable modem speeds with the advantages of portability and multiple levels of service
overcomes the cost and installation barriers to widespread deployment of internet access
broadband for Residential and Business subscribers in any location
higher bandwidth to non-mobile users at lower cost
Designed and built to a standard to ensure interoperability
