Intel is to start trials of wimax networks using its new rosedale chip, the company hopes one day that as wi-fi has penetrated homes efficienty, that wimax will cover whole areas of a particular geographical location and provide broadband to end users.
it hopes to start trials with BT and iother partners this year.
I was under the impression that Wimax was designed to act as an entry-point for broadband. Therefore, a building would have a Wimax access point on the outside and this would then be connected to a local network, be it wired or wireless, for endpoint connections.
The article kind of suggests that Intel want to put this chip in laptops directly. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick.
