Nice Read

From the above website:
Wi-Max, short for ‘Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,’ refers to any broadband wireless access network based on the new IEEE 802.16 standard. This specification covers both the Media Access Control (MAC) and the physical (PHY) layers for fixed systems employing a point-to-multipoint (PMP) architecture operating between 2 GHz and 66 GHz. Wi-Max also refers to the technical working group organized to establish conformance and testing standards for the 802.16 technology, to promote vendor interoperability.
