WiMAX
Metropolitan wireless standard
WiMAX is a wireless broadband technology standard designed for high-speed data transmission over long distances.
The name stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.
Developed in the early 2000s as a competitor to cellular networks and WiFi, WiMAX promised citywide coverage but was largely overtaken by 4G LTE technology: The city deployed WiMAX to provide internet access to rural areas.
