Wiki it someone lol, you may be right, I didn't know thats what it was.
EDIT:
WiMAX, meaning
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a
telecommunications technology that provides wireless
transmission of data using a variety of
transmission modes, from
point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. The technology provides up to 10 Mbps
[1] broadband speed without the need for cables. The technology is based on the
IEEE 802.16 standard (also called
Broadband Wireless Access). The name "WiMAX" was created by the
WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX
[2] as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of
last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL".

Uses
The bandwidth and range of WiMAX make it suitable for the following potential applications:
- Connecting Wi-Fi hotspots to the Internet.
- Providing a wireless alternative to cable and DSL for "last mile" broadband access.
- Providing data, telecommunications and IPTV services (triple play).
- Providing a source of Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan. That is, if a business has both a fixed and a wireless Internet connection, especially from unrelated providers, it is less likely to be affected by the same service outage.
- Providing portable connectivity.
EDIT: I'm still not sure I know what all that means lol
