An Overview of Security Issues on a Converged WiFi and WiMAX Network

Overview Wireless networking has offered an alternative solution to the problem of information access in remote inaccessible areas where wired networks are not cost-effective. They have changed the way people communicate and share information by eliminating worrisome factors of distance and location. But there are still unsolved issues that prevent wide spread adoption of broadband wireless communication. This paper provides an overview of security issues on a converged WiFi and WiMAX networks. It also seeks to provide a comparative overview of other alternative wireless convergence scenarios which can be used depending on suitability, applications requirement capabilities, and availability of coverage.
