    WiMAX is a wireless communications standard that provides high data transmission rates of up to 1 Gbit/s for fixed locations. It was created by the WiMAX Forum in 2001 to promote compatibility and interoperability of the standard. WiMAX allows for the delivery of wireless broadband as an alternative to cable and DSL, referring to compatible implementations of IEEE 802.16 wireless network standards. It was originally defined by the 802.16 standard for fixed wireless but adopted technologies from South Korean service WiBro. A revised version for mobile use was then developed.
