Google Chrome OS unveiled, released to open source community

WiMAX

WiMAX, short for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a technology that allows wide area high-speed wireless broadband. WiMAX can be deployed over great distances to connect users to data services, like the internet, wirelessly. Currently, WiMAX hasn't seen wide deployment across the United States, though wireless provider Sprint has recently launched its XOHM network based on WiMAX in Baltimore, MD. A consortium of companies, however, has banded together to release widespread WiMAX access under the name Clearwire.

WiMAX shares few technical similarities with the similarly named technology WiFi.
