Best Answer

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.

Who is in 4g?

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".
