From sky to fingertips!

Hello everybody!



I am pleased to inform you that Wateen Telecom launches WiMax in Pakistan, in almost every major city of Pakistan.

What is WiMax?

WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is also called WirelessMAN. The name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL."

Still don't get it? Well in simple words, it's basically a DSL, a wireless DSL :)
