Intel Ready For WiMax

Intel has unveiled client chipset able to manage both the fixed and mobile versions of the WiMax wireless broadband technology.
The first version, a.k.a. 802.16d-2004, known as Fixed WiMax version is expected to replace broadband cable or ADSL access point to redistribute internet connection to clients via the local wire-based network.
The second version, a.k.a. 802.16e-2005, known as Mobile WiMax version manage the fixed wireless applications, but in addition bring support for roaming among base stations (something similar to the mobile phone technology).
Intel is expecting to release by the end of the year a chipset that will support both WiMax and WiFi. Once integrated in notebook, users will enjoy a new "era of mobility"... if WiMax networks are already deployed...
