Explanation
WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It is a wireless broadband technology based on the IEEE 802.16 standards. It is designed to provide high speed internet access over long distances, serving as a wireless alternative to cable and DSL. Since its primary function is the wireless transmission of data and voice over networks, it falls under the category of communication technology. It is often compared to Wi-Fi but operates over much larger areas, such as entire cities.
