WiMax is planned as a wireless substitute to DSL and cable internet for last mile broadband access and as technique to connect Wi-Fi hotspots into a Metropolitan Area Network. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access which is commonly known as WiMax is a communi- cation criterions which gives a wireless boost and enhancement at the rate of 30 to 40 mega bps. Nowadays it is restructured to provide speed up to 1 Gigabyte per second. WiMax forum introduced WiMax as a technological advancement. They stated that it will be easy to use and advanced communication functions can be reached as we do not need a DSL or a cable to stay connected to the internet (Weinscheck, 2012). The other name of WiMax is IEEE 802.16 and it is anticipated for the metropolitan area where they can experience heavy traffic and broad reach. WiFi can be sustained by WiMax without problems. The interference decreases and can access both recognized and unrecognized frequencies and can call for synchronized surroundings. It guarantees the fact that wireless is mass-produced for consumers use can be used from retailer to retailer. The WiMax ensured that the standards are maintained by testing and experimenting. The more topical Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard is same as the term unfolding comparable equipment to WiMAX that is being technologically advanced by
