The WiMAX Forum Global Congress in Amsterdam was the center of the wireless networking world as performance enhancements to the mobile WiMAX standard IEEE 802.16e were proposed in Amsterdam. The proposal established ways to advance speed of data, efficiency of networks, and other improvements to ensure interoperability and availability in the commercial sector.

Proposed enhancements include increased data uplink and downlink budgets, up to 70 percent improvement in spectral efficiency, doubling peak data rates, and new tech to reduce interference. The forum is hoping to implement equipment to accomplish these goals.
