WiMAX
by Prasanna Adhikari
The past century has seen tremendous growth in the need for broadband networks as
the demand for broadband access has increased significantly. We have also witnessed
the growing need for untethered communications as our dependency on information in
our day-to-day life has grown. With the proliferation of portable computing, communication,
and entertainment devices, the need for untethered communication is expected
to skyrocket.

mostly been met by newer technologies making use of existing infrastructure such as
copper wires.
