WiMAX
- WiMAX is another name for IEEE 802.16, an international standard that allows for computers to be networked together and access the internet wirelessly.
- Although similar to Wi-Fi, WiMAX has a much broader range, and potentially allows for faster data transfer speeds.
- Because of the fact that a single WiMAX base station can cover an entire city or town, it allows for true mobility rather than having to hop from hotspot to hotspot as is necessary with Wi-Fi connections.
