Q & A


What is WiMAX?

WiMAX is an acronym that stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. Products that are WiMAX certified follow the protocols and standards of the WiMAX standards body. Similar to WiFi but more powerful, WiMAX is a fourth generation or 4-G technology representing the state-of-art in both fixed and mobile broadband wireless technology.

What are the benefits of WiMAX?

WiMAX delivers much higher speeds and vastly improved performance over older wireless technologies.
