WiMAX or World Interoperability for Microwave Access operates is similar Wi-Fi, but without the short-range limitations of
a traditional Internet hotspot.
WIMAX operates on an FCC licensed frequency so there is less potential for interference.- WiMAX is similar to Wi-Fi but without the short-range limitations. WiMAX, wireless 4G technology differs from Wi-Fi because it provides service areas measured in miles, not feet.
- Instead of using radios attached to utility poles, WIMAX works by transmitting signals to and from nearby cellular towers and rooftops.
- The 802.16 WiMAX signal power is stronger so that it carries further and can better penetration through vegetation and walls
- WIMAX is not just an outdoor network, but penetrates interior rooms, including those above the second floor.
- WiMAX leverages a data centric all-IP network architecture and advanced mobile broadband technology to enable users to stay connected to online services anywhere they travel within the coverage area.
- WiMAX transmission speeds rival those of fixed location internet. WiMAX is fast enough to handle streaming movies, video games and video chat. WiMAX offers average mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts over 10 mbps.
- WiMAX provides service across entire metropolitan areas. CLEAR WiMAX averages mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts
over 10 mbps.
- WiMAX is truly open-access whereby consumers can connect to the network using any WiMAX device. U.S. cellular networks are closed systems in which carriers control the types of devices that can be used to access the service
- No more searching for a Wi-Fi hot spot. WiMAX is available wherever you are in the city. Use it at home or on the road.
