What is the WiMAX Forum?
The WiMAX Forum is an organization of leading operators and communications component and equipment companies. The WiMAX Forums charter is to promote and certify the compatibility and interoperability of broadband wireless access equipment that conforms to the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 and ETSI HiperMAN standards. The WiMAX Forum was established to help remove barriers to wide-scale adoption of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technology, since a standard alone is not enough to incite mass adoption of a technology. Along these lines, the Forum works closely with service providers and regulators to ensure that WiMAX Forum Certified systems meet customer and government requirements.
