Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

The purpose of WiMAX is to promote deployment of broadband

wireless access networks by using a global standard and
certifying interoperability of products and technologies.
Support IEEE 802.16 standard

Propose and promote access profiles for their IEEE 802.16 standard

Certify interoperability levels both in network and the cell

Achieve global acceptance

Promote use of broadband wireless access overall

WiMAX should become for 802.16 what WiFi has become for 802.11

WiMAX needs spectrum

Current focus of WiMAX is on Fixed Wireless Access

based on IEEE802.16-2004 (initially OFDM-256, later SOFDMA)

aimed for the following frequency bands

3400 3600/3800 MHz (available in many countries, licensed)
5725 5850 MHz (license exempt in US, licensed in other countries)
2500 2690 MHz (MMDS, aimed for IMT-2000 extention in Europe)
WiMAX is pushing towards portable/mobile applications
introducing sOFDMA & handover in IEEE802.16-2004/802.16e

providing mobility support to fulfill requirements of

Sprint, Nextel and Koreans HPi (High-speed Portable internet)
initially aimed for the frequency bands
2300 2400 MHz (Korea)
2500 2690 MHz (Sprint, Nextel in US)
mobile spectrum in Europe is tied to IMT-2000 technologies,
may change in the framework of technology neutral assignments.

Siemens AG, 2004

WiMAX is blurring the differentiation between fixed and mobile.
