Abstract
Worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMax) tends to be one of the most controversial technologies in telecommunications history. WiMax can be seen either as a prominent technology in the mobile Internet access revolution or as an unjustifiably hyped technology that remained just an expectation and never lived up to its potential. Advocates of the former statement include the major, leading industries. There are also significant supporters of the latter one, and thus doubters of WiMAX, which bank on their experience in deploying legacy, cellular networks, and shift the attention to HSxPA and third-generation (3G) long-term evolution (LTE).
