The Gigaset SE680 WiMAX
What is WiMAX?
WiMAX stands for "Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access", a modern wire-
less network technology that enables fast Internet connection even in remote areas.
With WiMAX technology you are no longer dependent on a DSL infrastructure in your
home or place of work. Instead, you connect your PC or network wirelessly to radio
stations operated in your region by your provider. As a result, WiMAX gives you fast,
economical broadband Internet access, even in places that are not connected to the DSL
cable network.
The WiMAX standard IEEE 802.16 generally defines WiMAX technology. Your Gigaset
SE680 WiMAX modem already meets the latest IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard, a mobile
WiMAX standard that offers many extra possibilities.
