WiMAX and LTE are wireless broadband technologies. WiMAX is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard and uses a scalable wireless platform to provide broadband internet access over wide areas at speeds up to 15 Mbps for a 3 km cell. It uses components like base stations, receivers, and backhaul and can operate in spectrum bands from 2.3GHz to 5.8GHz. LTE is a 4G wireless standard that increases the speed and capacity of mobile networks using an improved radio interface and core network. Both technologies aim to deliver high-speed wireless internet as an alternative or complement to wired broadband networks.
