IEEE approve next generation 802.16m WiMAX standard

    The IEEE Standards Association has given its seal of approval to the next generation WiMAX standard, dubbed 802.16m. The new standard supports a “wide range of data rates in multiple user environments” and has a theoretical maximum throughput of around 300Mbps.

     ” The standards group notes that 802.16m will provide the speed and performance necessary to support future advanced services and applications for next generation broadband mobile communications.”  said Dr. Roger Marks, Chairman of the 802.16 Working Group.
