WiMAX is a wireless technology that can provide broadband internet access over long distances. It uses various modulation techniques like OFDM to transmit over licensed and unlicensed spectrum between 2-66 GHz. WiMAX has the potential to connect the next 5 billion people by bringing affordable broadband to remote areas. It faces security challenges like impersonation and denial of service attacks but is more secure, faster, and has longer range than WiFi. WiMAX aims to make portable internet access a reality and allow users to always be best connected.
