Wi-Fi networks cover a small physical area, like a home,
office, or small group of buildings. An access point is
necessary for the connection.
WiMAX networks connect several Wireless LAN systems
to cover a metropolitan area, providing high-speed
broadband access without the need for cables.
The Mobile Broadband network provides Internet access
to computers, cell phones and other devices over a large
geographic area. Mobile networks are used for data
transmission, and access is usually provided by a mobile
network operator. A Mobile Broadband SIM card is
necessary for the connection.
