WiMAX, meaning Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a
telecommunications technology that provides for the wireless
transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from
point-to-point links to portable internet access[
citation needed]. The technology provides up to 75 Mb/s symmetric broadband speed without the need for cables. The technology is based on the
IEEE 802.16 standard (also called
Broadband Wireless Access). The name "WiMAX" was created by the
WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of
last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL".
