Just imagine that you have a laptop and can access your company's server from anywhere in the world, whether it be in your home, while driving, in a restaurant etc.
You don't have to come to office everyday to work anymore, right? :-)
Well, it's not a dream anymore!! This technology is called WiMAX
According to Intel, a leading developer of this technology:
WiMAX is a standards-based wireless technology that provides high-throughput broadband connections over long distances. WiMAX can be used for a number of applications, including "last mile" broadband connections, hotspot and cellular backhaul, and high-speed enterprise connectivity for businesses.
An implementation of the IEEE 802.16 standard, WiMAX provides metropolitan area network connectivity at speeds of up to 75 Mb/sec. WiMAX systems can be used to transmit signal as far as 30 miles. However, on the average a WiMAX base-station installation will likely cover between three to five miles.
PS: The drawback of these technologies are that, one day you will be forced to work 24/7/365!!
