Mobile WiMAX is gaining worldwide adoption with commercial rollouts in many countries. More networks are launching in the US, and devices like netbooks, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones that support WiMAX are becoming more available. For a new mobile network operator, it is important to test WiMAX devices on their network to ensure compatibility and performance before full deployment. Various monitoring tools can test the connections between devices and the base stations, access points, and core network to identify any issues.
