As a matter of fact WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access i.e. approximate accronym. Latest technology in its field. Earlier we were using technologies like WiFi, CDMA (Code divivsion Multiple Access)etc. But WiMAX is based on the latest so called technology OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). You might be eager to know that how this technology works, though it might me explained using technical words but in a simple language it can be stated that basically there are two parts a base station and a reciever.
Base Station: It is basically the place where the WiMAX tower is being set. The range of this tower is around 10km radius. i.e. a few towers will cover the whole city. Now this has various advantages. For example we often face problems with WiFi and CDMA while we are traveling as the range of these services is quite small and thus the device tries to catch one station or the other. But in WiMAX technology as the range is quite high so no more fuzzy network during travel. Other than this the speed is real high and we can transfer 100’s of MB within seconds.
Receiver: The work of receiver is quite simple. It is a kind of small instrument placed at the place where we want to receive the WiMAX network. With the receiver a router can be connected thus creating WiFi network within.
Advice: A tip for you guys, if you are going for any new gadgets, go for those which have built in WiMAX antennae.
