The original version of the standard on which WiMAX is based (IEEE 802.16) specified a physical layer operating in the 10 to 66 GHz range. 802.16a, updated in 2004 to 802.16-2004, added specifications for the 2 to 11 GHz range. 802.16-2004 was updated by 802.16e-2005 in 2005 and uses scalable orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (SOFDMA) as opposed to the OFDM version with 256 sub-carriers (of which 200 are used) in 802.16d. More advanced versions, including 802.16e, also bring Multiple Antenna Support through Multiple-input multiple-output communications (MIMO) See WiMAX MIMO. This brings potential benefits in terms of coverage, self installation, power consumption, frequency re-use and bandwidth efficiency. 802.16e also adds a capability for full mobility support. The WiMAX certification allows vendors with 802.16d products to sell their equipment as WiMAX certified, thus ensuring a level of interoperability with other certified products, as long as they fit the same profile.

How WiMAX works?
WiMAX, which stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a wireless technology that allows data to be transmitted over long distances using radio waves. It works by connecting a user's device to a base station via radio signals, providing high-speed internet access similar to Wi-Fi but over a wider area. WiMAX technology uses a point-to-multipoint architecture, meaning multiple users can connect to a single base station to access the internet.
Who will win Wimax or LTE?
LTE because of acceptance among the operators worldwide. see a useful link below WiMAX or LTE : which one is better? (http://lteworld.org/blog/wimax-or-lte-which-one-better)
Does wimax cost money?
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.
Is wimax use only in mobile?
Wimax is not only used in mobile. Its a mobile access technology. it is used for voice, video & data.
Which country has the largest fully functional Wimax in it?
Currently Pakistan has the largest number of fully functional WiMax, set up by Wateen telecom.
