The IEEE 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access is developing the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN standards for Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks. These standards, covering licensed and license-exempt bands from 2-66 GHz worldwide, are creating a firm foundation for the development of the industry. IEEE 802.16 addresses "first-mile" applications of wireless technology to link commercial and residential buildings to high-rate core networks and thereby provide access to those networks.
