WiMAX is a next-generation wireless network communications technology. The technology is similar to Wi-Fi but provides high-speed, broadband access over a larger area with less interference. WiMAX enables mobile Internet access.

Which is best 20MHz or 40MHz?

40 MHz has higher throughput than 20 MHz thanks to channel bonding. There are downsides to channel bonding. While 40 Mhz might have higher throughput than 20 Mhz, it also reduces the number of non-overlapping channels. This increases the probability for interference.
