There is lots of confusion among both WiMAX and Wi-Fi technologies. There are many reasons for that one could be both technologies starts with ‘W’ letter that makes some people think that they both are same technologies with different names. There is one more major reason why it makes confusing, they both belong from standard setter IEEE and there standards first 3 letter are same “802”, and both Wi-Fi and WiMAX technologies belong from wireless connectivity family.
