Intel Corporation has said it has made available its first WiMAX product. It provides equipment manufacturers and carriers the ability to deliver next-generation wireless broadband networks around the world.

Several service providers worldwide announced plans to begin commercial WiMAX trials based on Intel silicon products later this year.
Key equipment providers have also announced WiMAX solutions based on Intel’s product.
The WiMAX silicon delivers features needed for cost-effective, high-speed wireless modems for homes and businesses. Initial deployments will enable delivery of broadband internet access to remote areas not currently served by DSL or cable, and will make it possible to wirelessly connect buildings up to several miles apart.
