A second-generation standard for WiMAX now under development by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers promises 100 Mbps downstream bandwidth.
The 802.16m standard will significantly boost first-generation WiMAX speeds. Sprint’s Xohm network generally supports speeds between 3.7 Mbps to 5 Mbps.
Significantly, the speed boost will be possible over the same distances WiMAX now operates over. WiMAX covers about 31 square miles from each access point.
