Intel Unveils Wimax: The Future of High-Speed Broadband Internet

Intel has introduced a communications chip enabling Wimax, a technology with a range of up to 50 kilometers, far surpassing Wi-Fi's 100-meter coverage. Wimax can cover entire cities with a single tower and is being trialed in the UK, notably at the National Museum of Science and Industry. It offers significant potential for rural and developing areas lacking fixed communication infrastructure. Wimax could challenge traditional broadband providers, with over 100 trials globally and commercial availability expected within two years.
