WiMAX: The Next Generation of Broadband Wireless Access

摘要

The next generation of broadband wireless access (BWA) is almost upon us. IEEE 802.16 standard and the WiMAX Forum will enable interoperability and lower price-points that were previously unattainable with proprietary point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PMP) communication schemes. This article provides an overview of the 802.16 standard, the WiMAX forum, and key applications.
