You'd need an 802.16 wireless adapter to receive those signals, and then:

In case you weren't aware, WiMax doesn't yet have a significant share
in residential services here (but I believe the wirel...@sg backbone
is WiMax technology), probably because it isn't that helpful for home
users in sunny tiny Singapore.

If you're talking of wireless connectivity in SG, then we have
HSDPA/3G from most of the providers. Else, you can sign up for
wirel...@sg. These are either GSM or 802.11, so you should have no
problem as Linux already supports a good deal of modems, cellphones
and adapters.
