WIMAX is under 802.16 standard and is not a mobile technology. It is a point-to-point. There is no roaming with WIMAX, you have a fixed antenna pointing directly at a Wireless Access Point and there it stays. It is fast at 70Mbps (802.11g is 54Mbps) and is an alternative to T1, DSL or cable.
Answer: Yes, technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also called WirelessMAN. WiMAX allows a user, for example, to browse the internet on a laptop computer without physically connecting the laptop to a router, hub or switch via an Ethernet cable.
Actually wimax mpeg 7 are two word WIMaX- wimax is wireless technology MPEG -7-Moving Picture Experts Group . it use in multimedia. These are the two different technology which combined feature is coming in mobile technology
Wimax is not only used in mobile. Its a mobile access technology. it is used for voice, video & data.
wimax
Yes...yes it does. * added to above answer * WIMAX is a technology like gsm, wifi, etc. The technology itself costs money (ref. A large reseller of WIMAX technology www.winncom.com in North America) now the use of WIMAX and the associated costs is purely up to the network operator of the WIMAX network, just like any other deployed technology the monetization of its facilities vary vastly.

WiMAX is related to communication technology. It is wireless and is created to provide 30 to 40 megabit-per-second data rates.

Sprint and T-Mobile claim to have 4G, but T-Mobile's "4G" is HSPA+ (High speed packet access plus) and they used to call it 3g, but now they are trumpeting it as "America's Largest 4G Network". Sprint's claim is much more legit, because they use WiMAX, and though neither of them have the 100Mbit/s speed needed to be true 4G, WiMAX is considered a "candidate technology" for future "true 4G".
providing portable connectivity,and also provide data and telecommunication services
Yes, in fact Philippines is using it for mobile and internet connection.
WiMAX Abroadband wireless transmission technology that is capable of transmitting signals for approximately 20-30 miles and at a data rates in the range of millions of bits per second.
