The 802.16 Standard FamilyIEEE 802.16 WG formed in 1998 to develop a standard for Wireless MAN (primarily Fixed Wireless)Initially 10-66 GHz band considered, later modified to focus on 2-11GHz NLOSIEEE 802-16-2004 standard ratified in 2004 DEC 2005 specification for 802.16e (802-16-2005) was completed adding mobility support and operation in 2-6 GHz among other enhancements.

The 802.16 standards have a very broad scope with many incompatible optionsWorld-wide Interoperability for Microwave Accessp yWiMAX (similar to WiFi) is not a technology but a certification framework.Framework◦ Use of the IEEE 802.16 Air interface◦ Certify Interoperability at the air interface as well as the
networke o◦ Promotes the use of BWA The WiMAX forum defines commercial “profiles” and promoted interoperability of products through testing and promoted interoperability of products through testing and certification

Standardization and interoperability have a proven track record when it comes to technology successThe benefits are realized by subscribers, operators and vendors alikeThere are numerous challenges that must be
