The WiMAX Global Roaming Alliance (WGRA) is a working group of wireless broadband and global roaming services providers, equipment manufacturers, commercial entities, state and municipal governments and other industry participants that can benefit from    to the simplified implementation, distribution and use of competitive, ubiquitous wireless broadband services in major metropolitan areas and rural locations.

The WGRA is focused on consensus development and the propagation of roaming and interoperability mechanisms for networks leading to or based upon the 802.16 family of WiMAX specifications.  In addition, WGRA partners along with prospective business, education and governmental end-users of WiMAX technology, will work together to address other important acceptance factors and encourage the rapid adoption of WiMAX technology as a whole.

The WGRA is not intended to be another standards body, but rather steer toward consensus on the best available or developing standards, suggesting changes if necessary, and push for uniform deployment and implementation of those standards once defined, in the production environment.
