Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals (WIFUND, legacy) — Question 48

Which two statements are true about WiMAX technology? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. WiMAX is defined by 802.11i.
• B. Typically, fixed WiMAX networks have a higher gain direction antenna installed near the client.
• C. WiMAX is capable of working as a long-range system over several miles.
• D. WiMAX works only for licensed frequencies.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because fixed WiMAX networks typically utilize higher gain directional antennas to improve signal quality to clients. Option C is also correct as WiMAX is designed to support long-range communication. Options A and D are incorrect; WiMAX is defined by the IEEE 802.16 standard, not 802.11i, and it can operate in both licensed and unlicensed frequency bands.
