WiMAX Forum What is WiMAX and Why Should We Care? WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access and it is the latest, and most-hyped, generation of fixed wireless technology in years. Intel, Fujitsu and others would like to bring scale to the market and, ideally, create a larger market along the way. Similar to the way that the Wi-Fi Alliance enforced standards compliance among vendor members, the WiMAX Forum plans to do the same among its members. Compliance results in interoperability, which in turn results in plug-and-play products.
