Intel to kick-start uptake of WiMAX

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 30 September 2007

It’s no secret that the wireless technology WiMAX is struggling to get out of the starting blocks despite the backing of various big names such as Nokia, Motorola and Nokia Siemens Networks. This might change after Intel stepped in.

‘Intel is on a massive drive to ensure WiMax interoperability in collaboration with Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks, something that may kick-start the uptake of WiMax and help it to live up to the hype’ (Intel wants to win with WiMax, MyBroadband, 26 September 2007).
 
Furthermore: ‘In an effort to ensure that mobile WiMAX wireless products work well together and with other products globally, Intel Corporation, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks today announced that they are testing interoperability across Intel's forthcoming WiMAX silicon for laptops and mobile Internet devices, Nokia WiMAX devices and Nokia Siemens Networks WiMAX infrastructure equipment’ (Intel wants to win with WiMax, MyBroadband, 26 September 2007).

In other words, Intel is doing something that might help to get WiMAX out of the starting blocks.
