Evolution of 802.16 Standard. WiMax wants to be your wireless everything in the evolution of 802.16 standard. With a line-of-sight range of up to 30 miles, WiMax is the next step in the evolution of the wireless local-area network.

802.16d or 802.16-2004
Emerging broadband wireless technology gives users more room to roam. It offers flexibility, ease of use and
built-in security. WiMax wants to be your wireless everything in the evolution of 802.16 standard. With a line-of-sight range of up to 30 miles,
WiMax is the next step in the evolution of the wireless local-area network.
Earlier in the summer of 2004, industry officials completed the 802.16d standard, also known as 802.16-2004, which
provides line of sight communication for up to 30 miles, though in building coverage is estimated at closer to two
miles. Intel Corp. officials promised chips that conform to the new standard back in early 2005.
The 802.16e
The evolution of 802.16 standard continues with the next version of WiMax, 802.16e, this has people most excited. The technology will offer metropolitan-area coverage
that envisions both fixed and mobile wireless applications.
The 802.16e spec was complete in the beginning of 2005, with products at the end of 2005 or early 2006.
802.16g
802.11g, Similar to 802.11b, but this standard supports signaling rates of up to 54Mbit/sec. It also operates in the
heavily used 2.4-GHz ISM band but uses a different radio technology to boost overall throughput. Compatible with
older 802.11b.
802.16k For 2006
802.11k, Predicted for mid-2006, the 802.11k radio resource management standard will provide measurement information
for access points and switches to make wireless LANs run more efficiently. For example, better distribute traffic
loads across access points or allow dynamic adjustments of transmission power to minimize interference.
