About WiMAX Forum
WiMAX Forum was established in June 2001 to promote WiMAX technology and certify products. Its most important missions include testing mobile WiMAX tests, certifying testing equipment, and formulating interoperability specifications.

WiMAX Forum has set up a Spectrum and Regulatory Database. In the future, the WiMAX Forum will form a WiMAX network database for members’ reference.
