What is the difference between WLAN and WiMAX?

WLAN is used as wireless local area network for providing connectivity between WLAN compliant devices. WiMAX is used as wide area network for providing access between various wireless devices. WLAN standards are evolving including 11a, 11b, 11g, 11n, 11ac, 11ad and more. WiMAX follows IEEE standards viz. 16d and 16e. Both uses OFDM modulation scheme.
