WiMAX to go!

Maybe we have heard about WiFi, which means wireless internet. Maybe we also heard mobile broadband. But what about WiMAX?

I bet not really many know this. Even if you do, you could just be scratching on your heads, like me. =P

WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, which is a technology that enables wireless transmission of data, namely, the Internet.

So, from above, what does it differ from WiFi, since it's also means wireless internet??

I let you see this image, courtesy of The Star online.


Can you see the difference in bandwidth (meaning, how big and how fast can data pass through it) between 3G, WiFi, and WiMAX? Really big isn't it?

And what's more, with WiMAX, you can surf wirelessly from ANYWHERE. Seems cool, huh?

Just give you an overview of WiMAX, which me myself also not so understand all the technicalities involved. I recommend this website if you wanna know more.


P1 - The only provider that has rolled out its WiMAX services in Malaysia.

I just can't help to be jealous with those in Klang Valley that can enjoy so many cool new stuffs. Herm....

Take care everyone!
