Intel Demonstrates Its First Mobile Wimax Baseband Chip

Intel has demoed a mobile system based on its new wireless network chipset called the Intel® WiMAX Connection 2300. This chip should be installed in the next generation mobile architecture (Santa-Rosa) and would give wireless access via many different protocols:

- WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e-2005)
- Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11n) including MIMO
- high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) 3G (GSM 3G+)

This chipset should appears in notebook for S1 2007, and one can expect to see it integrated in Apple notebooks, providing a real "nomad" experience for the user (only missing satellite connection).
