WiMAX stands for “Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access” is wireless broadband that can cover vast distances and provides high-speed Internet access. WiMAX technology has better security support than Wi-Fi.
Also, all user traffic is encrypted before being routed through the Network and only the user associated with the particular customer-provided equipment (CPE) can access the internet.
In Nepal, NTC has been providing the WiMAX service for about 8 years. NTC has expanded WiMAX service coverage to 49 districts of Nepal.
Nepal Telecom WiMAX enables broadband wireless anywhere, anytime using any WiMAX enabled devices, whether it is a desktop modem or laptop, digital phone, or even a game device. Mobile WiMAX creates a smooth broadband environment at home and on the move. The Range of WiMAX is 15 Kms for the Rural area and 4 Kms for the Urban area. But most of the time, it depends upon the type of devices. The internet speed ranges from 256 Kbps to 2 Mbps.
