What is WiMAX?
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is commonly used as a broadband wireless access technology and can serve as an alternative to cable or DSL internet access.
What other technologies are related to WiMAX?
WiMAX Competitor Technologies
LTE
LTE (Long-Term Evolution) is a 4G mobile communications standard that directly competed with WiMAX in the 4G market.
VSAT
VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) is a satellite communication technology and provides an alternative solution for broadband access, thereby competing with WiMAX in certain areas.
WiFi
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology based on the IEEE 802.11 standards, it competes with WiMAX for local wireless data access.
GSM
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a 2G mobile communication standard. While not directly comparable in speed, it competes for mobile users.
UMTS
UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is a 3G mobile communication standard, which competed with WiMAX before LTE became dominant.
CDMA
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is a channel access method used by several mobile phone standards, competing with WiMAX.
4G
4G is the fourth generation of mobile technology and includes WiMAX and LTE. These technologies competed to become the dominant 4G standard.
FTTH
Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is a broadband access method that provides internet access via optical fiber. It competes with WiMAX in the fixed wireless access market.
WiMAX Complementary Technologies
OFDM
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technique used in WiMAX. WiMAX and LTE both rely on this.
DAS
Distributed Antenna System (DAS) can be used to improve WiMAX coverage, making it a complementary technology.
IP
Internet Protocol (IP) is the underlying protocol suite on which WiMAX networks operate, making it a complementary technology.
