Nepal Telecom introduced 4G Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX) IEEE 802.16e technology for the first time in Nepal with project assistance of Airspan technology.

WIMAX is a technology standard for long-range wireless networking. WIMAX equipment exists in two basic forms - base stations, installed by service providers to deploy the technology in a coverage area, and receivers, installed in clients. WIMAX is developed by an industry consortium, overseen by a group called the WIMAX Forum. The Forum certifies WIMAX equipment to ensure it meets the technology standards. Its technology is based on the IEEE 802.16 set of wide-area communications standards. WIMAX signals can function over a distance of several miles (kilometers) with data rates reaching up to 75 megabits per second . A number of wireless signaling options exist ranging anywhere from the 2 GHz range up to 66 GHz.
