WiMAX stands for ‘Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access’. It’s primarily a telecommunications technology, designed with an objective of providing wireless data over long distances in a number of ways. These ways could range from full mobile cellular type access to point-to-point links. Also known as WirelessMAN, it is based on IEEE 802.16 standard. The best part about Wimax is the facility it allows to the users like browsing different sites on a laptop without even physically connecting the laptop to a wall jack. Wimax Forum is credited to coin the term ‘Wimax’. This Wimax Forum was established in summer of 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard.

Wimax in India: From India’s point of view, it has been projected that by 2012 India will have almost 28 million Wimax users. In other words, impressive figure of 20% out of all global Wimax subscribers. The projections further estimate that, of the 28 million Wimax users, 70% will be using mobile and portable Wimax devices to access broadband Internet services. However, there are several obstacles in between projected estimate and actually realizing that number.
