WiMAX the last mile Broadband Wireless Access Solution

It is envisioned, that WiMAX will provide the last mile internet access to residential users. This will be particularly useful in regions where wire lined infrastructure does not exist or can not be setup, such as rural areas and remote mountainous areas for instance. It is interesting to note, that WiMAX proved its importance during the devastating December 2004 Tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia which completely destroyed the existing infrastructure, and thus crucial communication took through WiMAX stations deployed rapidly on urgent basis. For small and medium enterprises, WiMAX will create an economical alternative to expensive leased line solutions. [1] [2]
