MobileMag - WiMax Nearing Deployment

MobileMag - WiMax Nearing Deployment:
"Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax) will be the next generation wireless technology mobile gurus have been dreaming of since our first taste of 802.11b. Intel this week released their “Rosedale” chipset; this will allow OEMs to create some heavy duty networking gear. Our current technology allows for WiFi to transmit to about 300 feet from a base station at best. Deployment can be costly especially for large area coverage, with WiMax that range can be extended to over 50 kilometers giving even the most remote country folks a taste of broadband."
