Wireless broadband

Wireless Broadband refers to technology that provides high-speed wireless Internet access or computer networking access over a wide area.Originally broadband had a technical meaning, but became a marketing term for any kind of relatively high-speed computer network or Internet access technology.

According to the 802.16-2004 standard, broadband means "having instantaneous bandwidths greater than 1 MHz and supporting data rates greater than about 1.5 Mbit/s."Wireless networks can feature data rates roughly equivalent to wired networks, such as that of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) or a cable modem. Wireless networks can also be symmetrical, meaning the same rate in both directions (downstream and upstream), which is most commonly associated with fixed wireless networks. A fixed wireless network link is a stationary terrestrial wireless connection, which can support higher data rates for the same power as mobile or satellite systems.
