What are the technical requirements/specifications (if any) that needs to be fulfilled by Wimax equipment (both base and subscriber stations) in order to operate at the 10.5GHz frequency?

wimax spec

The original air interface spec was 802.16a, which did include frequencies up to 10.5Ghz. This spec has evolved including the frequency plans and modulation, up to today where we now have 802.16d for fixed and 802.16e for portable / nomadic use. 802.20 and 802.16m for mobility is on the way. Go to IEEE specifications and you can download the older specs
 
The original WiMAX standard (IEEE 802.16) specified WiMAX for the 10 to 66 GHz range. 802.16a, updated in 2004 to 802.16-2004, added specifications for the 2 to 11 GHz range. 802.16-2004 was updated to 802.16e in 2005 and uses scalable orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (SOFDMA) as opposed to the OFDM version with 256 sub-carriers (of which 200 are used) in 802.16d. Most commercial interest is in the 802.16d and .16e standards. A number of networks throughout the world are in commercial operation using certified WiMAX equipment compliant with the 802.16d standard.

I have a better idea. Just post the link to wiki. Is not perfect but a good begin.
 
WiMAX is based on interoperable implementations of IEEE 802.16 wireless networks. Latest Mobile WiMAX is based on IEEE 802.16e-2005 which is an amendment of IEEE 802.16-2004. IEEE Std 802.16-2004 which replaced IEEE Standards 802.16-2001, 802.16-2002, and 802.16-2003 addressed only fixed systems. But each of these updates added various functionalities and expanded the reach of the standard.
