Brochure: WirelessMAN: Inside The IEEE 802.16 Standard For Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks

The IEEE sought to make BWA widely available by developing IEEE 802.16, which specifies an air interface for wireless metropolitan area networks. The open-consensus process, carried out since 1999 by hundreds of engineers from the world's leading operators and vendors, has resulted in the development of a core standard and a series of enhancements that embody the world's most advanced wireless technology concepts. The work has led to the development of a global industry, with conformance to the standard backed by the WiMAX Forum, with hundreds of companies from throughout the world.
