Major Wi-Fi changes ahead

Faced with a growing number of operators planning to launch 4G LTE services over the next year, WiMAX’s creators at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and its industry boosters are moving aggressively to upgrade the mobile data standard in time for a commercial launch in the U.S. as early as 2012.

The IEEE has been developing the new standard, known as 802.16m and commonly referred to as “WiMAX 2,” since 2006. If all goes according to plan, the IEEE should finish work on the standard by this coming September.
