چکیده
ABSTRACT-Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that uses the IEEE 802.11 standard and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) that uses the IEEE 802.16 standard are networks that we are want to explore. description of the existing wireless technology Wi-Fi and WiMAX, and try to compare Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16). Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) uses of IEEE 802.11 standard. WiMAX has been developed by 10 years ago, but it is still unknown by most of the people. WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a 4th generation cellular telecommunication technology on working IEEE 802.16e standard. This paper has been introducing these two technologies and makes comparisons between WiMAX and WiFi.
