The Future of Broadband Wireless Access: WiMAX and Its Global Impact

This overview highlights the revolutionary potential of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) through WiMAX technology. With over 1.5 million units installed in 130+ countries, WiMAX represents a transformative solution for both residential and SME broadband access. Backed by major OEMs like Siemens and Alcatel, the technology promotes interoperability and supports users in 'white zones' and 'DSL refugee' areas, driving carrier demand. WiMAX's standardized approach aims for global acceptance and positions it as a cost-effective, high-quality alternative to traditional wireline access.
