The IEEE has approved the final version of the IEEE 802.16m standard, otherwise known as WiMAX 2. It offers a maximum throughput of 300 Mbit / s and replaces the WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e), which was limited to 128 Mbit / s. Obviously, these are theoretical speeds that do not reflect operators' offers. Today, WiMAX is restricted in many countries with offers of 1 Mbps and the signal quality depends very much on the lack of obstacles such as trees, and the distance between the transmitting antenna and receptor.
It helps to have internet in rural areas, but remains today a technology unreliable compared to the wired Internet. WiMAX 2 is a step in the right direction. It offers theoretical speeds of 300 Mb / s download and 100 Mbit / s upload. The standard does provide a rise rate to 1 Gbp / s download, but it still lacks infrastructure.
For now, the MIMO terminals sending several signals at once limited to 330 Mbit / s. This standard is also expected to compete for dominance LTE smartphones and other mobile terminals. However, he did not like the same number of supporters and if WiMAX 2 will continue to lead the Web to places around the world without wires, it should not have a significant impact on the world of mobile telephony.
