WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, enables the delivery of wireless broadband services over long distances. WiMAX is based upon the IEEE 802.16 standard, also called WirelessMAN, which was developed for non-line-of-sight (LoS) communication. WiMAX technology can provide connectivity in many ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type communication. The name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX forum which was formed in June 2001.The WiMAX forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL." WiMAX technology has already been incorporated into notebook computers and PDAs to deliver high speed mobile Internet services.
