Is Wimax also a LoS product?

I am curious if Wimax is a LoS product like the other wireless services out there? There is a wireless tower 10 miles away that services Bath, but because of mounatains and trees, I don't have direct LoS. Will this be something to look forward to in the future? Just trying to find a real broadband service I may be able to jump on.

It is not LoS but just like a small radio if you are in a valley and the tower is on the other side of the mountain, then no it could not get a signal to you. If the tower is on top of the mountain and trees and buildings are in the way it will pass through them.

Okay, it still wouldn't work then. I think it is up on a mountain, but there are several other mountains in between me and the tower and they are higher then it.
