The primary advantages of the WiMAX standard are to enable the adoption of advanced radio features in a uniform fashion and reduce costs for all of the radios made by companies who are part of the WiMAX Forum"--- a standards body formed to ensure interoperability via testing.

WiMAX is a standards-based technology that can replace existing wired connection modes to provide wireless broadband access for the last mile. Working in the 2 GHz to 66 GHz band, WiMAX products have excellent wireless propagation features.

WiMAX provides fixed, mobile and portable wireless broadband connections. It can provide mobile wireless broadband connection without direct line-of-sight (LOS) base stations.
