Where did the idea of WiMAX come from?

by Michael Wolleben last modified 2007-03-19 02:29 PM

Much of the credit for the formation of the WiMAX Forum™ and the notion of the WiMAX initiative must go to the founding members of the Forum, which committed themselves early to the process of creating a collaborative standards body. Once Intel came aboard, it recognized that for the broadband wireless industry (both fixed and mobile broadband wireless) to gain traction and wide acceptance both hardware prices must decline and a consistent operating environment must be cemented into place. The key point of launch however, had to begin with the silicon chip manufacturers whose chip products would form the core of WiMAX technology value and capability. Intel deserves a great deal of credit for helping drive this process.

No really!

In Pakistan we are using two links that are on WiMax. One or two times in a month it gave problem like equipment hang up, after restarting the equipment connectivity restored. Rest of month it works fine.
