 IEEE 802.20: Key Features
 Much like the recently ratified 802.16e standard, 802.20
(MBWA) hopes to define a WMAN standard with mobility
support.
 802.20 offers mobility at speeds of up to 250 km/h instead of
the much lower 60 km/h speeds offered by Mobile WiMAX.
 Furthermore, unlike 802.16e which has to carry the baggage of
the 802.16, 802.16a and 802.16d standards, 802.20 is a clean-
sheet design focused exclusively on providing high-speed
mobility at speeds similar to ADSL.
 The 802.20 standard is being positioned as an alternative to
2.5 and 3G cellular services as both technologies support high-
speed handoffs and wireless network access.

 IEEE 802.22: Wireless Regional Area Networks
 While 802.16a/d/e and 802.20 have focused on providing the
infrastructure necessary to create wireless metropolitan area
networks approximately 1 to 5 km in radius, 802.22 is seeking
to define a standard capable of serving vast regions up to 100
km in size.
 IEEE 802.22 working group provides fixed-wireless access at
speeds comparable to asymmetric digital subscriber line
(ADSL).
 The security features of the 802.22 standard includes support
for features such as authentication, authorization, message
integrity and data encryption.
