Range Limitation of WiMax WiMax will have a range comparable to Cellular. The Wimax uses higher frequencies than Cellular, which have a reduced range. But the WiMax standard is a more advanced standard than cellular, and uses some newer technical tricks tricks.Irrespective the range of WiMax is several miles compared to a hundred yards for WiFi. I do not know what kind of WiMax ranges have been obtained in actual field trials. WiMax for telephony will come a few years later. The first step is to establish it a provider of High Speed Last Mile Technology, then as a vehicle to deliver high bandwidth to portable devices like laptops and PDAs. The VOIP for cell phones will come last, since existing carriers are firmly entrenched and the high cellular handset volumes and the economy of scale creates major entry barriers for a new technology.
