Intel® WiMAX Products

Driving broad deployment of WiMAX technology
Intel is laying the foundation for broad and cost-effective deployment of WiMAX technologies that will deliver unprecedented mobility for Internet-connected devices and the people who use them.¹
Better solutions through Wi-Fi/WiMAX integration
Wi-Fi hotspots have become popular around the world, but lack the coverage to deliver full mobile connectivity for users on the go. WiMAX can deliver a wide area broadband Internet to fill-in the gaps between hotspots and offers last-mile connectivity to hotspots in homes and businesses within the broadband provider's service area. By integrating Wi-Fi and WiMAX into an affordable combo module (code named Echo Peak), Intel will deliver a solution that will support new broadband Internet experiences, while greatly reducing the cost of implementation for notebooks OEMs and the cost of customer acquisition for mobile operators.
Laptop and other device manufacturers will be able to incorporate wide area connectivity (WAN) solutions at less cost and with simpler, more compact designs.
Silicon integration will take advantage of WiMAX and Wi-Fi technology similarities to deliver both technologies on a single, embedded Mini Card module—freeing up PCI slots for other uses.
Shared antennas further reduce costs, ease design-in, and enable a platform approach to noise mitigation.
Coordinated power management enables longer battery life.
Streamlined module-based certification saves testing time, costs, and can reduce time to market for notebooks and other devices.
End users will have an integrated solution that simplifies connectivity on the go, and frees them from the potential challenges of using independent devices for short- and long-range connectivity.
