    Swapnil Tulsankar
    WiMAX is a wireless technology that provides broadband internet access over long distances, with a coverage range of up to 50 km for fixed points and 5-15 km for mobile users. It uses the IEEE 802.16 wireless communication standards to deliver speeds comparable to WiFi networks but over larger areas. WiMAX operates using both licensed and unlicensed frequencies, allowing wireless carriers to provide regulated broadband services over wide areas in a cost-effective manner. It has applications in smart grid technologies due to its ability to transmit data over distances.

    Concept of WI-MAX :

    Going back to the history of Internet, Data Transfer as one of the major boon provided by internet. Then Infrared connection and Bluetooth followed. Then concept of Wi-Fi ruled for many years and now its era of WiMAX. Thus , WiMAX is an IP based, wireless broadband access technology that provides performance similar to 802.11/Wi-Fi networks with the coverage and QOS (quality of service) of cellular networks. WiMAX is also an acronym meaning "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). WiMAX is a wireless digital communications system, also known as IEEE 802.16, that is intended for wireless "metropolitan area networks". WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3 - 10 miles (5 - 15 km) for mobile stations. In contrast, the WiFi/802.11 wireless local area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300 feet (30 100m). With WiMAX, WiFi-like data rates are easily supported, but the issue of interference is lessened. WiMAX operates on both licensed and non-licensed frequencies, providing a regulated environment and viable economic model for wireless carriers.

    So in brief : WiMAX - Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is the common name associated to the IEEE 802.16a/REVd/e standards. Best Selling factor : Coverage range up to 50km and speeds up to 70Mbps(shared among users).

    Functioning:
    This works very similarly on our MAC binding concept. It tracks our Systems IP number and transfer is due to

    this. Thus its IP based Broadband. It works on very economic model of wireless carriers. WiMAX operates on both licensed and non-licensed frequencies.

    Use in Power Utility Sector :


    Can be used extensively in SMART GRID
