So, most of us are familiar with WI-FI or wireless fidelity connection. We commonly know that a Wi-Fi-enabled device such as a PC, game console, cell phone, MP3 player or PDA can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless network connected to the Internet. The coverage of one or more interconnected access points are called hotspot. It can comprise an area as small as a single room with wireless-opaque walls or as large as many square miles covered by overlapping access points. Wi-Fi technology has served to set up mesh networks… It is widely used right now.

And now here comes the WIMAX technology or the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is starting to rule the world. The usage of this kind of access is the same with Wi-Fi the only difference is that you can now have access not only within the hotspot but it can provide a wireless connection in over long distances in different ways. We can now browse internet while more than miles away from hotspot. How cool isn’t it?

Many companies right now are closely examining WiMax for their products. Some of them believed that it may bring competition to lower the price for both home and business customers or bring broadband access to places where it has been economically unavailable. Actually, as I have read information about those new gadgets that are about to launch late this year are mostly WiMax-enabled. It is for sure the biggest assets of their products.
