ETSI HiperMAN and IEEE 802.16 represent a GLOBAL standard for a wireless broadband access –akin to Cable, DSL and Ex-level services Designed from the ground up for outdoor, long range, carrier class applications –High throughput, non line of sight propagation, scalability for up to 1000's of users, QoS Supports both licensed and license-exempt spectrum Applicable in many markets – from dense urban environments to rural areas –Where there is no existing or poor wired infrastructure IEEE 802.16e extension enables nomadic capabilities for laptops –Broadband connectivity beyond hot spots Wi-Fi and WiMAX are complementary WiMAX* is to 802.16 as Wi-Fi* is to 802.11 * Other brands and trademarks are property of their respective owners
