The WiMAX standard allows data transmission using multiple frequency ranges between 2-11 GHz. Lower frequencies between 2-6 GHz were specified in later standards because they suffer less attenuation and provide better coverage inside buildings without needing external antennas. Different regions of the world use different frequency bands for WiMAX depending on country-specific spectrum allocations, with the most common being 2.3, 2.5, 3.3, 3.5, and 5.8 GHz. The exact frequencies used vary significantly between countries.

The IEEE 802.16 WiMAX standard allows data transmission using multiple wireless broadband frequency ranges. The original 802.16a standard specified transmissions in the range 10 - 66 GHz, but 802.16d allowed lower frequencies in the range 2 to 11 GHz. The lower frequencies used in the later specifications means that the signals suffer less from attenuation and therefore they provide improved range and better coverage within buildings. This brings many benefits to those using these data links within buildings and means that external antennas are not required.
Different bands are available for WiMAX applications in different parts of the world. The frequencies commonly used are 3.5 and 5.8 GHz for 802.16d and 2.3, 2.5 and 3.5 GHz for 802.16e but the use depends upon the countries:
