Is WiMAX better than LTE?
The main difference between WiMAX and LTE is that WiMAX benefits from its earlier develop- ment and deployment, while LTE has the advan- tage of being developed by telecommunications companies who get to choose which technology to deploy. WiMAX jumpstarted the mobile broadband market.
Is WiMAX long range?
WiMAX is a long range system, covering many kilometres, that uses licensed or unlicensed spectrum to deliver connection to a network, in most cases the Internet. Wi-Fi uses the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio frequency bands to provide access to a local network. Wi-Fi is far more popular in end-user devices.
How good is WiMAX?
A wireless standard that makes Wi-Fi look mini, WiMax is designed to replace your Internet connection with one up to 25 times faster than today’s broadband. The technology – officially known as 802.16 – not only transfers data as fast as 75 Mbps, but also goes through walls and has a maximum range of 30 miles.
Which is better Wi-Fi or WiMAX?
WiMax guarantees Quality of Service, QoS. Wifi network ranges at max 100 meters. WiMax network ranges to max 90 kms. Wifi transmission speed can be upto 54 mbps.
Which is faster Wi-Fi or WiMAX?
WiFi connection can transmit up to 54 Mbps. WiMAX connection can transmit up to 70 Mbps.
Is WiMAX fast?
Under optimal conditions, WiMax offers data-transfer rates of up to 75 megabits per second (Mbps), which is superior to conventional cable-modem and DSL connections. However, the bandwidth must be split among multiple users and thus yields lower speeds in practice.
Does anyone still use WiMax?
It is still widely used for wireless Internet access especially outside the U.S. There are hundreds of WiMAX installations worldwide, but not so many in the U.S. One main wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) is Clearwire or CLEAR, a division of Sprint that still widely deploys WiMAX throughout the U.S.
Is WiMax cheaper than Wi-Fi?

What are the advantages of WiMax over Wi-Fi?
Wimax offer high speed internet as a broadband access which transfer data, voice, video at very high speed. While WiFi offer short range of data transfer because WiFi can connect only in specified areas so only file sharing may possible. Wimax design for long range distance in licensed spectrum or unlicensed spectrum.
