WiMAX is a wireless access technology for building networks with large coverage areas and high data rates, so-called Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). It focuses on various usage scenarios for serving fixed, nomadic and mobile subscribers and incorporates a broad range of transmission and access technologies, which can be dynamically applied for serving these different types of subscribers. In addition, it provides mechanisms for giving Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees, and thus it is predestined for enabling real-time services like Voice over IP (VoIP), video on demand or multiplayer gaming.
