WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is wireless broadband access technology built on the 802.16 standard, and is considered the next revolution in wireless. A single 802.16 hotspot can deliver capacity of up to 40 megabits per second (Mbps) per channel, or enough bandwidth to support hundreds of businesses with T-1 speed connectivity.
