The
IEEE 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access concerns himself
with the IEEE 802.16 family of WirelessMAN, the standard for Wireless
Metropolitan Area Networks.
The working group 802.16 is occupied with wireless access devices to
wideband networks, concretely with an air interface ,
thus with an air interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access
systems. It aimes at data rates starting at 2 Mbit/s and
bigger distances, e.g. for the provision of several buildings. The frequency
range used for the transfer is to be situated between 10
GHz and 66 GHz.
Meeting bimonthly, 802.16 has a record of rapidly reaching technical
consensus. IEEE 802.16's standards set the stage for a revolution in
reliable, high-speed network access in the first mile by homes and enterprises.
