4.2.3. WiMAX

This technology is one of the communication standards of the IEEE 802.16 series operating in licensed spectrum 2.5 or 3.5 GHz and unlicensed spectrum of 5.8 GHz. Since there is along-distance coverage of licensed spectrum, it is appropriate for communication in HAN and FAN level in MG, especially in advanced AMI such as AMI for the supervision of measurement equipment in HAN. It can facilitate responsive load contribution in the provision of AS such as peak shaving or load shedding. It is reported that applying WiMAX in remote places requiring WiMAX tower installation, which will result in imposing an excess cost to the system.
