IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX)

IEEE 802.16, commonly known as WiMAX, is a set of standards for wireless broadband communication, providing high-speed internet over long distances. It enables fixed and mobile devices to connect to the internet wirelessly, similar to how Wi-Fi works but over wider areas. WiMAX can deliver fast internet access to rural, urban, and enterprise locations without wires, supporting applications like streaming, online gaming, and business communications. It uses radio signals to transmit data between base stations and user devices, offering reliable and scalable internet connectivity across large geographic regions.
