This article explains how the new IEEE 802.16 standard and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access) will standardize and promote wireless broadband as a wireless alternative to digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable that can help remove barriers to broadband access. The 802.16 standard defines the Wireless MAN (metropolitan area network) air interface specification (officially known as the IEEE WirelessMAN standard). This wireless broadband access standard could supply the missing link for the "last mile" connection in wireless metropolitan area networks.
