"WiMAX is not a technology, but rather a certification mark, or 'stamp of approval' given to equipment that meets certain conformity and interoperability tests for the IEEE 802.16 family of standards. A similar confusion surrounds the term Wi-Fi, which like WiMAX, is a certification mark for equipment based on a different set of IEEE standards from the 802.11 working group for wireless local area networks (WLAN). Neither WiMAX, nor Wi-Fi is a technology but their names have been adopted in popular usage to denote the technologies behind them. This is likely due to the difficulty of using terms like 'IEEE 802.16' in common speech and writing."
What else can I help you with?
Is WiMAX is defined by the IEEE 802.11 standard?
False.
WiMax the IEEE 802.16 standard can transmit up to a distance of?
31 miles.
WHAT group developed the WiMAX standard?
The WiMAX standard was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) through its 802.16 working group. This group focused on creating specifications for wireless broadband access, enabling high-speed internet connectivity over long distances. The WiMAX Forum, established in 2001, also played a crucial role in promoting and certifying WiMAX technology and products.
Which data transmission rate is defined by the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard?
11gb
What is the full meaning wimax?
WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It is a wireless communication standard designed to provide high-speed internet access over long distances, serving as an alternative to traditional broadband technologies. WiMAX can support both fixed and mobile applications, enabling connectivity in urban, suburban, and rural areas. The technology is based on IEEE 802.16 standards.
802 is a IEEE standard for?
According to IEEE the 802STANDARD is used for LAN Standard.
What are the three areas defined for the IEEE 802.11 standard?
Physical, MAC (Media access control), Wireless Management Protocol,
What description best describes what WIMAX is and stands for?
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a wireless industry coalition dedicated to the advancement of IEEE 802.16 standards for broadband wireless access (BWA) networks.
