The 802.16e standard is more recent and enhances the 802.16d standard to include many new features. Among these are: mobility up to 120 km/hr (75 mph), lower cost (802.16e is now the dominant standard and most products on the market will be 802.16e), 802.16e uses scalable OFDMA which allows scalable system bandwidth (802.16d uses OFDM), improved QoS and coding, improved coverage (optional MIMO and STC) and power reduction (sleep and idle modes). Azurecomm consciously never pursued the 802.16d fixed standard and is solely focused on the mobile WiMAX 802.16e standard because we saw that 802.16d would eventually be overtaken by mobile WiMAX 802.16e.
