Intel's recent news of the erstwhile "Rosedale" chip, the Intel Pro/Wireless 5116 chip based on the IEEE 802.16-2004 specification, has WiMAX fans standing by. I just read that carriers are joining in on the WiMAX fun and vendors are getting the gear ready for the new Intel chip.
Companies included are Alvarion LTD, Aperto Networks, Proxim Corporation, Redline Communications, Siemens AG, and Huawei Technologies in China. A recent article states that "Carriers planning trials include heavy hitters AT&T Corp., BT Group PLC, Brasil Telecom SA, Qwest Communications International Inc. and Telefonos de Mexico SA de CV. "
The article also mentions WiMAX testing in Jersey ....as in New Jersey. Yes. The United States! Looks like I can finally put a tack close to home on my "where in the world is WiMAX?" map.
