    Wi-MAX is a wireless technology standard that provides broadband connections over long distances, providing an alternative to cable and DSL connections. It uses the 802.16 IEEE specification to operate on spectrum between 2-11GHz to connect wireless local area networks and hotspots to the internet over distances up to 50 miles, forming wireless metropolitan area networks. Wi-MAX supports voice, video, and data transmission at speeds up to 70Mbps using a point-to-multipoint network architecture optimized for outdoor connections with or without a direct line of sight.
