Is It Really A Threat To Wimax Technology

By the time we are facing different kinds of threats and other vulnerabilities to WiMAX Technology like the earlier version of wireless networking for example; Wi-Fi. WiMAX is also facing these threats, but we need to make it more secure and protect it from being failed before its deployment. Till today we are still not finding the WiMAX everywhere but we are still waiting for its success and deployment. In some areas of the world WiMAX is deployed and still undergoing to its maturity period and facing threats and vulnerabilities. As I have studied that the WiMAX is facing Denial of Service attacks, jamming of the network, management message modification as well as the data modification communication attacks.

According to the research some of the solutions and enhancements are under consideration for security of WiMAX technology but there is a need for further research in this domain because of the immaturity of the WiMAX itself. Some experts claiming that the WiMAX technology cannot get a chance to gain the target market, but on the other hand people are still expecting more out of it. According to my research and studies about the WiMAX, there are some possible solutions and enhancements that can make it more secure but not completely free of threat and other vulnerabilities.


Integration of WiMAX with other new technologies can make it more robust, reliable and secure like IMT-Advanced but we have to wait until at least 2010. Some other future technologies are also expected that might offer WiMAX a better environment and system integration to work better then any other technology in the market.
