the initial standard for 802.16 was 10-66 GHz freq.
the updated 802.16a is sub 11ghz (2-11ghz)

The frequencies the old standard uses is the 2 to 11Ghz frequency range
and the new updated standard is 10 to 60Ghz range.

An article on how stuff works references the operating range of wimax in the 2-11ghz range.

The new operating frequency for Wi-Max is said to be 3.5Ghz spectrum.

The older spec operates at the 10-66Ghz spectrum.

Please disregard my first answer.
Thanks!

I have an addition to my last comment.
In several websites they have stated the effort to produce a sub 11Ghz effort for Wi-Max. This seems to imply that this would be the new range.

Answer to Syngres question of the week ... "The original WiMAX standard, IEEE 802.16, specifies WiMAX in the 10 to 66 GHz range. 802.16a, updated in 2004 to 802.16-2004, added support for the 2 to 11 GHz range, of which most parts are already unlicensed internationally and only very few still require domestic licenses."

Hey guys funny show!
I believe its 10-66 GHz for the earlier 802.16 and 2-11GHz for the newer 802.16a
twitchy bonus: I've read the sympatico nextnet modem (prewimax?) has a 13V DC power supply running at 1.3A. ...So ull still have kids unless its running next to ure crotch ;)

Wi-Max: The operating frequency range of the original Wi-Max
standard was 10 - 66Ghz. The newer Wi-Max standard added the 2 -
11Ghz range.

This is for Twitchy...
Honeypots are _not_ entrapment--unless used by law enforcement to _TRICK_ an individual into doing something they would not normally do.
Your stories describe so many situations of you breaking the law that I would have suspected you would be familiar enough with it to know that it isn't entrapment--actually called enticement--when implemented by civilians.
