Broadband wireless access is a technology aimed at providing wireless access to data networks, with high data rates. According to 802. 16-2004 standard, broadband means "having instantaneous bandwidth greater than around 1 MHz and supporting data rates greater than about 1. 5 Mbit/s". From the point of view of connectivity, broadband wireless access is equivalent to broadband wired access, such as ADSL or cable modems. It is planned to be used in the next few years and is thought to be used up to 40 miles away.
