Abstract
WiMAX is a technology comes up with multiple solutions. It’s defined as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, based on IEEE 802.16, which is a standard with similar principles. The main advantage of WiMAX is that: it supports higher throughput rates, covers larger areas and has higher data rates. There are two standard variants of WiMAX, the first one is a Fixed WiMAX and the second is Mobile-WiMAX. Mobile WiMAX 802.16e gives fully mobile internet access at higher broadband speeds than other broadband networks like Wi-Fi. Whereas Fixed- WiMAX 802.16 delivers point to multipoint broadband wireless access to our homes and offices. WiMAX supports multiple applications because it has a high capacity.
