WiMAX is a wireless technology put forth by the WiMAX Forum that is one of the technologies that is being used for 4G networks. It can be used in both point to point and the typical WAN type configurations that are also used by 2G and 3G mobile network carriers. Its formal name is IEEE standard 802.16. Sprint owns a WiMAX based network that is marketed under the name XOHM, though that will eventually be merged with Clearwire's network and sold under the Clearwire name. LTE is a competing technology that has the support of far more carriers worldwide.
