Intel sees WiMAX in its future
Sure WiFi is taking off throughout the country, but WiMAX is just around the corner and Intel wants a major piece of the market. WiMAX is a wireless broadband standard that's designed to extend WiFi networks across greater distances, such as a campus or sections of metropolitan areas. Based on the 802.16 standard, the technology can transmit data at speeds up to 70Mbits per second as far as 37 miles. Just how Intel plans to become a leader in the market is now becoming more clear. Intel and its partners, Sprint Nextel and Clearwire, plan to offer WiMAX as a wireless broadband alternative to 3G, which is offered by AT&T and Verizon. Sprint and Clearwire plan to roll out out a nationwide network that will offer data speeds of between 2Mbps and 4Mbps to 100 million people in the United States by the end of 2008.
